Also, fun stuff

talyenOver new year's weekend, my friend showed me a book of Sudoku, and at 1 am, we worked our first one, rated "Very Easy."
As of Friday I have a Sudoku widget on my computer and I stayed up past 2 am last night playing it, and past midnight the night before. I'm not very good. If I were better, I think it wouldn't be so much fun. I sure wouldn't be spending so much time at it.
I also have a game where I play a pilot dashing around the galaxy, picking up stars that give my spaceship energy. It helps me blow off steam when I'm tired of the numbers 1 -> 9.
Also, I am definitely sore from running, in all the expected areas: ankles, quads, abs, and my dang shoulder. I'm expecting I'll hurt even more tomorrow, which has the assignment of cross-training 20 minutes. Since the gym is only open from 10 - 2, and I'm rehearsing and performing during that timeframe, I'm considering attempting the 20 minutes on the bike, which is on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hotwire7's old trainer. That ought to get some of the lactic acid out, and prep for the next three miles on Tuesday.
I think I might be a crazy person to have decided to do this. But I'm really doing it for the training program, not so I can do a half-marathon. It's not that I want to run that far, it's just that I want to be in shape, and this helps me set some goals. I would be happy to be in shape to run 15K by then, and a half-marathon is 20K, only three miles longer. But the race choices are 10K, 20K, or 40K, so heck, I may as well train for the 20K, since there's a class for it. After that, I can switch to triathlon training.
Really, feel free to tell me I'm crazy. I might be - but I think the tradeoff is good. I'd rather be crazy and busy and kinda happy, than lonely and depressed.
