Gravity

There are days when gravity makes me feel like I can't move out of my apartment.  There are other days, like today, when Gravity, makes me get up and walk over two miles to the movie theater because everyone is talking about it.  It was a lovely, crisp day here in Denver and my brisk walk with Joe to the downtown theater was just lovely.  We got there in 2.289 miles (4.5 meals) and in 2.294 miles (4.5 meals) back.  In between walks we quite enjoyed the movie Gravity in 3D.  We had lots to talk about on our walk home.

Other days, I feel the gravity of what tasks I have taken on.  For instance, I am a mere 2% into my feed the hungry goal and I'm wondering if I set my sights to high.  I know I am only 2 weeks into the task, but sometimes trying to look at a whole goal or a whole year that lays ahead seems quite daunting.  I know I will make this goal, I just need to focus on my little successes, like earning 9 meals in one day.

The other situation that I am unsure about is my running in a 5K in 2 weeks.  My last run attempt scared me and I haven't 'gotten back up' since.  I realize that if I am able to run any part of a 5K and keep my time under 56 minutes (my last official 5K time) then it will be a success.  But I did hope I would be in better condition at this point in my training.  I feel like it only makes me see how much I really don't like running!  Which is probably why I made this new goal for myself that allows me to walk.  I enjoy walking.  I, of course, won't give up on running just yet...I just hope to have that urge to run one day like I have the urge to swim or walk like I do now.
