I can't believe it took me this long to post

I'm having troubles with procrastination lately. Too many things on my mind, so everything shuts down and all I wanna do is sleep or watch TV. Don't get me wrong, I am still doing a lot of stuff all the time, but the stuff that requires full consciousness is much less appealing these days.

With my promotion, I find that I am simply exhausted at the end of most days. It's not physical fatigue, but mental. I absorb a lot of the problems and have to stay focused on the solution. I do finish every day feeling like I accomplished something though, so it's a rewarding kind of feeling too. The days go by quickly, but more intensely than before and it takes all my energy to keep breathing and moving forward, not letting the moments of stress cloud the "bigger picture." I wish this were as easy for me to do in my personal life as it is for me at work.

In any case, all this to say I am sorry for not blogging for so long.

I have signed up for two, count em', two 5 km races in June. The first one also includes an additional 5 km run from the site to a friend's place who lives near me. I signed up to really give myself a push to run more regularly. It worked: I got home yesterday exhausted, but put on my gear and went for a 30 minute run around my hood.

The other day I did George St-Pierre's workout video Rushfit and was aching for 2 days. I think I'll start doing that one once a week.

I don't have time to say much else except that I am not pleased with myself in terms of exercise, but am walking more. Food hasn't been too great either, but I am still here, still trying.
