Evening Chores and Summer Motivation

31 May 2005

Not really chores, but I’ve been meaning to get back into the running and working out game. I’ve been travelling so much lately that its been difficult to eat properly, let alone maintain a consistent gym schedule.

So i’m going to head out for my second run of the day.

When I get back I’m going to go sit on my balcony and read a few blogs. It’s actually a funny story, Glenn, a buddy from work, asked me recently if I had a balcony and if I was sitting out there enjoying the nice weather with the wireless connection. I must admit that I’ve rarely sat on my balcony in the 3 or 4 years I’ve lived here. That’s going to change tonight, I’ve cleaned off my chair and am going out there tonight rain or shine. Glenn, you hearing this.

After I finish getting caught up on the blogs of interest, I think I might even make an attempt at bringing my resume up to date. I’ve never really had a reason to keep a resume current, and although I’m employed, I figure I might as well make an attempt.

I must admit that the summer weather is motivating. I don’t know what it is about fall and winter but its terribly demotivating. I find myself just crashing on the couch and sleeping. But now that its spring/early summer, I’ve started reading again, going to blog more, and try to make life more interesting in general. I now have a reason to leave work at 4:00 (lets not forget that I still carry a laptop so its difficult to truly get away from it, its not my personality to completely turn off work when I leave the office).

I’ll see how successful I am.
