Going back to the gym is painful

So after talking with Bryan the other day and hearing that he is now running at the gym, I was motivated to start going again so he isn't better than me whenever I see him next :) I clearly just need to get my competitive juices flowing in order to be motivated to go to the gym!

Two days ago I ran a mile in my neighborhood. Yesterday I ran a mile and a half at the gym at a decent pace. Today I can hardly walk! It is painful, but I wasn't in as bad of shape as I had expected, since it had been about a month since I had been to the gym.

I can't believe school starts next week already! The year of no school went by so quickly, and I'm a bit nervous to start again, especially in a new field. The looks of sympathy I've been getting from other profs when I say I'm teaching Program Eval have scared me! I'm confident I can do it though, even if I have to be the dreaded "mean professor." As for my classes, I'm taking Concepts in Social Science Research and Race, Class, Gender, and Disability in America. That puts me in class on Wednesdays from 4:50pm to 10:15pm. Oh joy! I'm hoping they will both be nice intros into the education world though.

Work is going well around here, although I am insanely busy. I think I could work 80 hour weeks and still not get everything done. I have been fairly dedicated though about only working 40 hours. I don't want them to get the idea that they can work me to the bone (even though they are trying!). I still get to work 2 days a week from home, which is awesome.

I miss you all!
Tia
