Redemption

Okay, today, I redeemed myself with my running. Without alcohol in my blood, I was actually able to finish the route without stopping or walking part of the way. Of course it was shorter than the route we did last time but I felt like I could've run more by the time I finished.

My brother put this so clearly, "I had no idea Cathy could be so athletic." Don't worry, brother, neither did I. Who would have thought flabby little me back in Manila would turn out to be who I am now, and what I'm involved in? I was the one who cheated in running class by sitting behind the gym, pretending I was taking the time to run the laps, and only getting up to run the short distance back, looking all exhausted when I just spent the whole hour on my ass.

Sure, I did the little stint with fencing, but that was hardly aerobic. It didn't really require a higher level of fitness, it was more of a technical sport more than anything.

I guess being free to do what I want and being presented with so many options is making me want to try everything. And it's great. God, there's just so much to do, and I'm actually having a hard time squeezing each activity in. Whew!

But again, really, who knew? Me and athletic activities... what a surprise.
