atypical behavior

today i returned from my conference trip. normally, i would hit trader joe's on the way home from the airport, get caught up on tivo, maybe throw in a load of laundry. but not today. my schedule said "20 min walk/jog" so i had to do it. i came straight home from the airport, changed into workout clothes, pulled my running shoes out of my still-packed suitcase, and headed to the gym. this treadmill workout went so much better...i decided to get on the machine right next to the guy making the most noise. and i stepped lightly and quietly, who knows why, but it went well, three-one, three-one, finishing up with five straight minutes of jogging. yes, it was short, but it was easier, and i think it's important for me to feel that i'm making progress. so yay for me!
