Well, nothing special to report for yesterday, except that I did go outside and exercise again. That's two days in a row, which is a record for me in this period of my life. Sometimes as I'm struggling back and forth for those five long minutes I think about the girl who ran several miles every day and wonder if that was really me...
Anyway, I got through it. I tried a slightly different timekeeping method yesterday and it worked well - since I've always been very connected to music and have frequently used it to change my mood, I chose a song from my music library that's exactly five minutes long, downloaded it to my phone, and used it as my timer. The speaker on my phone isn't all that loud, so it sort of faded in and out as I walked back and forth, but it was still much better than just setting a timer and walking back and forth in silence, wondering how long I had left. The music not only gave me something to distract me and helped me keep my pace up, it also helped me know approximately how much longer I had to go. Maybe I'll try to choose a different song every day and tell you all what I exercised to, that might be fun. Yesterday's song was Head Like a Hole by NIN.
