A nice run

Went for a run this evening. Felt really good.

There's this bit near here that's full of little inclines. Nice. Some of them are pretty steep. Decided to run up a pretty sharp bit while listening to "Kakusei" and oof, that was tough.

Goal: Run all those inclines without getting winded. Yeah.

Need to start doing yoga on a regular basis again. Tried it the other day and I was so unimpressed with myself. If you stop doing it a while, you go back to 0 pretty damn quickly.

I've gone to the gym in my complex a couple times. It's usually deadsville in the evening, so I have the place to myself. It's mostly cardio, but they have a few free weights. Kind of tempted to start working on that, but I'm going to need to do some research first.

I'm dreading winter. Fuck. No more light. No more running. Walking, maybe, a little, for a while, but it'll get slippery eventually. But IN THE MEANTIME... I have lots of things I can work on.

Continuing to call myself a poet

Just sent in a submission to a literary magazine. [/breathes into a paper bag]

I don't even know why I feel so nervous about it. Like, I don't necessarily feel a big drive to be published. But getting accepted would be pretty cool - mostly for the "I tried a thing and succeeded at it" factor, I think.

Well. We'll see. If this one doesn't go through, I can keep trying. (And if enough poems are rejected, I could make a collection of the rejected works! Hah!)
