bodacious

So tonight’s walking involved taking Maverick out to try to tire him out. I totally succeeded! Poor little dude parked himself in a lawn, laid out, and refused to move for a few minutes. Even then we had a good twenty minute walk to get home…

I really need to add grades to my workout – realizing that NYC is far hillier than friggin’ these flatlands…

Haikus

Its too bad my Avon Walk site doesn’t have the listing of contributors like it did last year… It may help you if you are trying to figure out who the other haiku subjects are ;)

I also have to admit I have some haikus pre-written cause I hoping certain people are going to donate *crossing fingers*

Dear walkin friend
All the way from Michigan
Lateral Move, HO!

Ah, Epiphany!
Ya know, oft when we walk its
With lil’ puppies – POOP!

I know you support
Boobies! and I’m glad they are
Yours and my sister’s

Run, Snora, Run! while
Here I am a walkin’ Thoughts
Drift to Jackson Hole

She has gotta grand
Pair o' Tetons for a
rocket scientist

Out a Avon Wakkin'

So I went out a-walkin tonight…

I was so incredibly pissed off at work… I needed to let off some steam AND I needed to deposit some monies at the bank. So out into the cool breezy evening I went with my trusty Avon Walk Hiking Pack, a bottle of water, and Liz Phair to keep me company.

I took the scenic route through the neighborhood towards the bank. I remembered biking these sidewalks when I was much much younger. My sister and I would take this way to the park. So even after doing my banking I’d decided to keep walking away from the house to go to the park.

I’d forgotten how high school kids would hang out there, jumping skate boards off picnic table, climbing the play area designed for kids half their size, and gossiping in the shadows….

The lovely little high from moving my body… I’d missed that feeling… I can’t believe that I get to have that feeling in NYC.

Oh.. that and I thought up some hiakus (haikii?) and composed my next letter for fundraising…

blah

Eh. I haven’t been walking.

I haven’t been doin much of anything. I’m hitting a wall.

Though I did have a pretty inspirational experience, this past week. I think at this point I’m even more afraid of my potential than my reality.

Trying to save up on gas money, I’ll be doing a lot of walking in the next few days. Perhaps that will get me started up again. Another thing is MissJenna, AnneGirl, and have decided to try to be even more aerobic than dancing in order to get into shape. So there that.

Ugh I’m so blah right now… more later…
