Be the Change

weird looks

Yesterday, I just had to go running. It was raining, but it was 49 degrees! That's very unusual for January in central Pennsylvania. It stopped raining about halfway through my run, too, so it was really nice. I ran 3.3 miles and it was a tough run. My legs were pretty tired (which I blame on the short pilates workout I did before I ran), but I took it slow. I felt really good when I was done, so I stopped at a nearby playground.

I did 2.5 chin-ups. I can usually do 3, but I also did a short upper body workout that morning. Still feeling good, I headed to the swings. Swinging happily away in my fluorescent running clothes, I didn't pay any attention to how I looked, until a guy parked in an adjacent parking lot. He got out of his car and gave me a weird look. As he neared his destination, he looked back two or three more times.



I'm thinking he either thought I was a teenager skipping school to play at a playground, or he was wondering what a grown woman was doing swinging at 9am. !

I just kept on swinging.
