Out of it

So we are in sun peaks for a few days. The weather is pretty crappy so far. Overcast, rain, wind, chilly. We walked to the village and when we neared the pro shop, the course marshall was tootling by in his cart. I asked him how the conditions were out there: "pretty wet?" "Yes, really wet" So that decided it for us, I don't like it when a ball hits the fairway and stops in a slog - or skims along leaving a mini rooster tail.
There was a disappointment on the walk. I have been so totally inactive that this hour long stroll caused my low back to ache. It is a good walk with some slopes, but I would have been able to jog it in April. A good wake up call to where I am physically after a month of bronchitis and ear infections and sitting.
So, need to sign up for a 5k or something so I can have a goal to work toward again. The half marathon is out. I intend to pick up my goodies - have to get something out of my registration fee. I was thinking of volunteering next Thursday which is the set up of the doings for Friday and Saturday. Still thinking - not as fun as dealing with the participants, but it puts me in touch with people anyway. It will probably mean stuffing the goodie bags and such. Necessary, but boring and repetitive motion.
When you read about people making big changes to their lives via diet and exercise, you don't really get how hard it is to stay motivated and stay on the diet or exercise plan. It is especially hard when your daily life schedule is not really routine to begin with. Now I face a summer of a new schedule and need to get it figured out.
