Now, it’s true I hadn’t looked very hard for them, because when I did look, it took about four seconds to find them (they were a hanger in the closet), but now I HAVE them! And now I have no excuse for not walking in all kinds of weather.
Yesterday was definitely All Kinds of Weather. By the time I went out, it was no longer pouring, just misting and winding like crazy, and I was deeply grateful not only for my rain pants, but also for the rain jacket I bought a while ago. It’s a really *good* rain jacket, although I don’t like wearing hoods because they seem to make me hold my head funny. Still! Yay for good rain gear! All I need now is weatherproofed shoes, or spray to weatherproof my shoes /with/, more likely.
I also looked at the pool schedule and discovered that the evening lap swim hours are from 8:30pm to 10pm, except on the nights they’re 9-10pm. Who the hell swims that late? Who can be arsed to get out of the house at that hour? (The Irish, obviously.) So in a fit of pique I called up and asked if they ever had lanes cordoned off for lap swim during public swim hours, and in fact, yes, they do, two lanes all the time. So there. Between knowing that and having all-weather walking gear, I’ve gone and done myself out of excuses, haven’t I. :)
Last night, in a fit of CRAAAAZINESS, I actually went to a yoga class. It was extremely pleasant, and more unlike exercise than any of the few yoga classes I’ve taken in the past. At the same time, it was *obviously* very good for my lower back, and although she said the Thursday class was pretty full, I may see if I can drop in and take that class as often as I can, too, because it is clear to me that twice weekly would be an excellent number of times to do that kind of workout. (I can probably remember what we did clearly enough to do it on my own, but let’s have a reality check here, shall we?)
Okay, off to work now. :)
