Writing Into The Dark

A Walktober to Remember (or: The Hunt for Red Walktober)

Is anyone familiar with Walktober? It’s a “fun, inspiring fitness campaign” for individual or team participation during the month of October (see what they did there?) where you get points for logging daily fitness activities. I’ve signed up as part of a team with some coworkers and I’ve gotta say…I’m kind of already regretting it.Continue reading “A Walktober to Remember (or: The Hunt for Red Walktober)”

Exercise and Other Things I Don’t Do

Yesterday I worked out for the first time in…longer than I’m willing to admit, and good grief am I sore. Like stiff-legged, anything that falls in the floor will stay there kind of sore.

The MondayWednesday Blues

Today was a very Monday-ish kind of Wednesday, without the relief that usually comes from being halfway through the workweek, though I cant really put my finger on why. I woke up on time and got a shower before the baby started squeaking for his first breakfast (kid eats A LOT.) I somehow even managedContinue reading “The MondayWednesday Blues”
