Running

In my effort to get into shape, I have started running. I thought it would be awful! I hate that feeling of claustrophobia when you have trouble breathing. However, it wasn't that bad. It is a hassle to get into the workout clothes after a long day of work, but I have been doing it! It has been about two weeks now. It turns out that I am fairly competitive...with myself. I like to beat my own records. I push myself to run a little further each day. Unfortunately, I really haven't been taking the time to build up my muscle and endurance like I should.

First, I twisted my ankle. Now, both of my knees (one more than the other) are killing me! I can barely walk! And stairs!?! Forget it! They are getting a little better, but it has thrown off the habit of running every day that I was getting into. Add this week of unexpected rain and you get very little outside exercise! I hope that I can get back into it once the knees get better and the weather clears up!

Busy!

Okay, this will be a fairly short post. I received an email last week from a charter school in Utah. They looked at my application and now want me to answer some interview questions, via email. You would think that this wouldn't take very long, however...in order to answer the questions I have to read these two books about education. I need to get this done by tomorrow (that is when they are having a state budget meeting that tells them how many teachers they can hire). So, for the last few days I have been trying to make it through these books. I have finished one, and am about half way through the other one. I will post again as soon as I have finished the book and sent off my answers. Wish me luck!
