Feelings and running
I feel kinda bad that I am not pouring my heart out here. I feel like I should be. It’s kind of like when I paint. I can only paint when I am inspired. It definitely feels like a New Year to me. My private mandolin lessons start on Saturday. I tried the group class, but I didn’t really like the teacher’s style. I am determined to learn bluegrass mandolin, and I found another teacher who I like.
Yesterday I finished Week 2 of the Couch to 5K program. Tomorrow Week 3 starts. I found a way to run when I am working and have some free time. I love walking and running in the woods. I brought a bag with my workout clothes, changed in a Mickey Dees ladies room. I bought a pack of those “Wet Ones” washcloths and a little deodorant. I was pretty sweaty after running but I gave myself 15 minutes to sit around and cool down, so it worked out well. In the past I was just changing my work dress shirt into a tee shirt and that wasn’t working so well - was sweating for hours. Oh by the way, at work I always wear a white dress shirt, a scarf, and a black suit.
Here’s another picture in the green tee shirt. I can hardly believe I was ever that big.

Jas I honestly can’t believe this is you in the picture. It doesn’t even look like you at all to me. Look how you’ve changed your life in the last 5 years - now a nonsmoker and how many pounds smaller? You’re so motivated now! I’m proud of you! Hugs, Ellen
Jasmyn,
This is a neat idea about the Wet Ones. I too wonder about walking during the lunch time because I sweat a lot and don’t want to smell bad. And deodorant doesn’t help much.
Jasmyn, you will get a hand on blogging soon. You are doing it actually.
Keep up your run/walk,
Tatiana
Oh, I forgot -sorry- XOXOXO
Changing clothes is the main thing. Even with the Wet Ones, I still would have to change. It’s a little bit of a hassle finding somewhere to change clothes, being out on the road, and I never want to run into anyone I know while I’m in my running clothes. Reason being, is that I am supposed to be working, and I would think I am supposed to be in my work clothes!
