My heart hurts
Dec. 20th, 2005 09:14 amMy heart hurts for two reasons:
I miss Alaska. It's entirely the fault of the Redhead Who was Lost, but Now is Found. She is on her way to Anchorage and Juneau and Tenakee. My chest aches at the thought of dark, cold, grey, wet, vast expanses of "nothing," and a cabin in Tenakee - a village that is two blocks long with no cars, perched along the shore of Chichagof Island, population 104, 45 miles from Juneau. I haven't let myself wander back to Alaska in quite a while.
My heart also hurts because I am pathetically out of shape. I rode a bike this morning for the first time....since high school? I seriously cannot remember the last time I rode a bike. I had forgotten how fun it is, but I'd also forgotten how my knees feel about it. The merest hint of a hill highlighted just how desperately I need some cardiovascular help. All right already! I'll get a bike!
