today was fun. news spread pretty quickly around the office and i had large groups of people gathering in my cubicle to hear about my engagement. marilyn kept sending people to my cubicle to hear my big news. i'm going to tell her tomorrow to just tell people on my behalf because i find it really exhausting to retell over and over again. it's the introvert in me, i don't have the endurance to get excited each time i talk about it. that being said, i appreciated everyone's enthusiasm, it was fun. and that's too you all too! we both really enjoy celebrating with you.

while i was at work i came up with a fantastic idea. last week i canceled my Y membership because it's spring and i'd prefer to be outside. but i need to keep my exercise up at the same level that it was at when i went to the gym. so it occurred to me that there's a track right across the street from my house. it's practically in my front lawn. so i decided i'd run the track at the m centre when i got home. brendan was here when i arrived and started cooking dinner when i headed across the street to do my run. traditionally i hate jogging. it's uncomfortable, but i did a run-walk rotation and managed to get around the whole track 3 times in a half hour. the whole site is under construction at the moment so i had to improvise but that was a-ok, it worked out fine. i'm going to try to do that three times a week same as i did with the Y. it's really nice because there's still some set structure so i don't have to think (just round and round) and when i'm finished i'm just a quick jaunt home. i'm kind of surprised that it took 4 years of living here before i came up with that idea. when i got home i had some time to get changed and washed before brendan served dinner, it was nice :) speaking of which, i should probably go do the dishes now.
