It's a rainy Saturday, thunder showers a possibility for tonight, with the likelihood of a rainy Sunday tomorrow. I'm cozy in a blanket after doing a couple of hours' work today, full of sushi and snuggled some. I'd like to be doing some reading for class, but my mind is a million miles away.
I dreamed last night. I don't remember what.
It's been a relatively hardcore couple of days. Yesterday I biked out to lower Kits, picked up the work tools (including a long rake and broom, and some relatively heavy hedgers) and biked up to south Granville to do some hedging for work. That's about 24 kilometers of biking in the rain, the second half of the ride uphill with maybe thirty extra pounds of tools on the bike. I love biking in the rain, you know? I also headed to KMM with my homemade ginger beer, forsaking the usual gin and tonics in favour of my own stuff. Felt kind of awesome.
Then there was the working in the rain, and covering for my co-worker with extra hours.
It's funny, with work and play I did maybe 30k of biking yesterday all told - I just couldn't climb on a bus, I've been getting carsick on them and they're just no fun - but the sorest bit of me today was my arms, from doing the boxwood hedge shearing, and when I popped on the bike to grab sushi I was neither sore nor tired. I'm starting to feel like I belong more in the 'athletic' box than the 'average' box, and I like the feeling. The way I see it, the 'normal' box is where, when you want to do something physical, one of your primary considerations is how strenuous it is. The 'athletic' box is where you don't normally have to worry about that sport of thing, at least for a one-day activity. Bike all day? Sure. I'd have to take a couple of breaks, but my body has it in me to do.
It's also getting easier for me to miss meals without dying. That's very appreciated.
