Daphne: Not voice alone—I’m not that far gone!
He’s fun with the other announcers and fun on social media. He’s about my age and is a cutie. He’s the announcer in some Ted Lasso episodes if you watch that.
I did a run/walk Sunday (Lake Mercer), which was enjoyable. It was chilly out, which felt really good for a change. This is the last week of my pre-marathon training plan. I did every single workout on my plan, so I’m proud of that. The rest of this week on the plan is all hiking. I hope the leaves are still nice southwest of here—they’re pretty much past peak here.
Today at lunch I ran my 3-mile neighborhood route. I cut more than a minute off my pace from the last time I did this route, 2 weeks ago. I think I was really holding back that time, but it did fell good to improve. Also, I was distracted in my head from a question my boss asked in a meeting right before lunch—when’s the last time you told someone no, and how did you do it? And telling my kids no you can’t do that or my husband no, I won’t watch that western don’t count. I couldn’t give an answer, so I thought about it the whole run. It was a great distraction from wanting to slow down. I still don’t have an answer, but I also don’t feel like I’m doing things outside work that I don’t want to. The things at work are all part of my job, so I can’t really say no. I sure don’t want to write the annual report, but I can’t say no to that and keep my job.
And now for the latest Bradley class update: I did the country ride from last weekend, which was fun. I’m not a fan of much new country, but I like 80s and 90s stuff, which he played. Denis is the master of 90s country playlists, but Bradley was good. I also did a Bradley low-impact Disney ride from this summer and a HIIT ride from last week. Both were excellent.
