Walk

I had one of those perfect mornings.

I woke up, considered doing something, watching Desperate Housewives and then got ready for work.  I walked to work while listening to some music and laughed at the people that were stuck in rush hour.  There’s something fun about being able to move faster than a car at that time of morning.

I’m not exactly sure why I don’t walk to work more often.  I only live 1.9 miles from work – walking to work clears my head in a way that I can’t describe.  This morning it was a pang of guilt (I didn’t get on the bike like planned) that got me out the door with my walking shoes on.  Unfortunately I’m a wimp when it comes to cold.  I almost ALWAYS will choose to rather stay inside on a cold morning / cold evening, rather than go out for a bike ride or run or walk.  Weekends I get courage to go walking in snowy places with peg-leg and no-legs, but during the week I show my South African roots too much by hiding under a duvet inside with the central heating up so high that you might be forgiven for mistaking our house for a sauna.

Right, so with those ‘goals’ for this week :

1. Sort out any racing plans I might have for 2009 (This might take a while….)

2. Sort out any holiday plans I might have for 2009 (Halfway there… need to find out if the campsites have enough places left)

3. Find out where my new passport is as my old one runs out on Jan. 9th (My mom has picked it up and is going to courier it to me this week)

4. Hide Peg-leg’s Christmas gift – he’s already nearly found it 3 times and I’m starting to suspect I have to mail it to his mum’s in order for him to NOT find it. (Found a place to hide it… )

5. Clear out the guest bedrooms. (First I have to clear out the family area of any books and papers I no longer have any use for)

6. A new one:  Do all the sessions on the plan.
