Journey 11 am
Good morning! Working from home today and getting a slow start due to some shocking news at work - my boss just quit (or was fired?). So I have spent the morning gossiping with my coworkers lol. But now, time to make todo list for the rest of the day and use the time I have left wisely as I have a lot of work to do.
Back to my attempt at learning to jog this morning, but of course after a week off I scaled it back a lot. I have learned through hard experience that overdoing it will backfire in a big way. When it comes to physical exercise, your heart and lungs are ready to increase activity long before your knees and back and ankles have built up enough stamina, and whammo injury puts you on the sidelines for 6 weeks. Not that I'm any kind of athlete or anything, but I am trying to get in reasonable shape for my age, and I ain't no spring chicken.
OK, todo list, and I'll check back if I get stuck. I am feeling back to normal after a little cold/flu thing so now I am all ADHD wanting to do everything at once, so I need to slow down and single thread my work, focusing on one thing at a time.
