I am good and I am bad.

I am good because I am very much ahead of the Christmas-present buying game. Not only do I have moM's present (which, by the way, have you received yet, Beth-Annie?), but I have four presents for Kim (plus one that I need to go pick up later this week), and I have ideas for everyone else on my Christmas list except daD. This is very, very strange.

I am bad because I have unlost some of the weight that I had lost earlier this year -- although I'm still certainly more svelt than I was at either Beth-Annie's or Kim's weddings -- so now that this stupid house stuff is mostly done (other than unpacking 7200 boxes and shaving a quarter-inch of the bottom of 12 doors because our carpet is too tall and finishing up patching the ceiling in the bathroom and finishing up plywooding the attic and, um, probably more I'm forgetting), I am going to start running ay-gehn. I have spent $10 and signed up for the 18th Annual 5K Toy Run/Walk on December 14th, and now that I have put down money (or fake credit-card money) on the event, I will feel compelled to get into shape for it, because I am clever like that.

Here is my boring running schedule for those five weeks:

Wednesday, November 12th: 5 minute walk; 8 reps 60w/90j; 5 minute walk
Thursday: 30 minutes on exercise bike

Wednesday, November 19th: 5 minute walk; 6 reps 90w/120j; 5 minute walk
Thursday, November 20th: 30 minutes on exercise bike
Saturday, November 22nd: 5 minute walk; 9 reps 90w/120j; 5 minute walk

Monday, November 24th: 5 minute walk; 2 reps 90w/90j/180w/180j; 5 minute walk
Wednesday, November 26th: 5 minute walk; 2 reps 90w/90j/180w/180j; 5 minute walk
Thursday, November 27th: 30 minutes on exercise bike

Thursday, December 4th: 30 minutes on exercise bike
Saturday, December 6th: 5K pretend race

Monday, December 8th: 5 minute walk; 5j/3w/5j/3w/5j; 5 minute walk

I hope that was confusing enough for you.
