Goals

Now that I'm feeling myself again, I'm eager to get back on track in terms of doing the things I love to do. I thought I'd write down several realistic goals here, and then work to ensure that I actually achieve them. 1) Fitness Ever since the weather turned cold here in Providence I've been, let's say, lax about cycling and running. Granted, I have continued to ride my bike for transportation purposes, and I walk everywhere else, but I have ceased going on leisurely bike rides and runs. I would like to change that. Especially given the fact that I only have class twice a week, it doesn't seem unreasonable for me to find the time to do an hour to an hour and a half of cycling or running more fairly frequently. Therefore, I'd like to set the goal for myself of at least an hour of physical activity (not including walking) 5 days a week. That should include at least three bike rides a week. The aim is not to transform myself into some kind of behemoth with bulging muscles; rather, I want to get outside, feel the beating of my heart and the rush of cool air against my skin. I also need to balance my intellectual interests with an activity that allows me to release the tension that builds up in my body when I think about changing the way we generate power, get from place to place, and grow our food.
