Not really exercise...but I take what I can get

After school today, I went to the park. I claimed to be going "running", but I can't run more than a tenth of the mile without stopping. I know I could keep pushing myself but I hate the uncomfortable feeling of panting for breath and sweating. That is the biggest reason why I would stop working out once at the gym - I hate feeling sweaty.
Anyway, I went to the park and it was awesome. Hundreds of people under the trees, out in the sun, listening to the birds chirp, watching the squirrels jump around, and listening to the creek and waterfalls go by. It's crazy that only 3 blocks from my apartment is this oasis in Brooklyn. When I was out in the middle of the grass, I couldn't see a single building. Not a single car. No signs of this not being the middle of the woods. It was awesome.

Maybe that is what I need. Just more being outside time. I usually wake up in my apartment, walk a block to the subway, then stay in school all day, then take the subway back and stay in my apartment all night. Maybe just some sunshine is what I need.

In other news, I did sunless tanning yesterday. I didn't have a Ross-Moment, but it isn't 100% perfect. The middle of my back is kinda streaky (Which is weird) and my feet were really bad today. I didn't think they were bad enough to have to wear pants and shoes though, so I wore a skirt and sandles, as usual. My kids and a lot of the staff commented that my tan looked really good, and honestly, I thought it looked really good too (minus those two spots, one of which no one could see). Anyway, my principal called me into her office today to tell me that my feet looked terrible. Me being one of the few (5) white people at my school, I don't think she really understood why I wanted to be darker. I tried to explain that I was going to a wedding in a few weeks and wanted to test it out now to see how it worked. She said that my feet were gross looking and that she was impressed that I had enough confidence to still wear sandles with them looking like that (again ... I didn't think they were that bad!!) I then went back out to the main office and talked to the secretaries (both white) and they said that their feet get that way too and that after I showered tonight and scrubbed them, things would be fine. Which is true - my feet are fine. But they also agreed that they weren't THAT bad. They were a lot darker in spots, but it looked more like my feet were kinda dirty than anything else.
Oh well. My principal thinks I'm crazy ... but at least she likes me enough to tell me something like that.
right?
