zen garden

I’m currently in the zen garden typing this post. I feel like its a little bit less zen because I have WiFi access here. Regardless, its a beautiful day to be outside, and there are far less people here than on the green, therefore making this my spot of preference.

I had such a hard time deciding which order to sit outside, go to the gym, and do work. I decided on gym, work, outside, but that was changed to gym, outside, work. I rationalize this because I can work when its dark out. After lunch, I came back to the room and despite the beautiful weather, dragged my ass to the gym. I clearly went into it with the wrong mindset, but I have a hard time going to the gym when its the perfect day to exercise outside!

I lasted about ten minutes on the elliptical before total boredom set in, despite the Cosmo I brought with me. I decided that I would try running outside a little bit, even though I’ve been having pain recently. I for some reason decided to wear my brace, and maybe it was the placebo effect, the fact that I saw BOTH of my soccer boys while I was running, or that my knee is feeling better, but I experienced little pain on my small little jog.

I’ve become a fan of mapmyrun.com, so when I got back to dobby, I mapped it out to find that my little jog was the longest I’ve gone so far! Supposedly I can attach it below, so all you creepers can see it :)



Thats my mini run, and then I walked back to dobby, cooled myself down with cranberry-blueberry sorbet, and then established my spot in the zen garden with my Hannah Montana towel, iPod and First They Killed my Father, by Loung Ung. Not quite summer reading, but interesting nonetheless! Happy Friday!
