Kahlua's life has changed. After a year of clockwork walks at 7:00am and 8:00pm, she was rousted from her long winters nap for a walk at 4:15am this morning. Thank goodness dogs can mark their territory at anytime of day. She seemed unfazed once we got out in the cold.I had my normal "night before something new" angst last night and couldn't fall asleep. I won't know how to do anything, I won't know where anything is, I'll screw something up, I'll get in the way, I'll ask a really stupid question, I'll measure out 5 pounds of salt instead of 5 ounces, blah, blah, blah.
Summary - I give myself a C for the first day. I stumbled around and took longer to do things than I should but it was a good start. The atmosphere of the kitchen is great and the staff is wonderful. It's hard work but so far, no regrets.
I was beat when I got home but I wanted to try out my new routine of running after work. I had always run in the morning and then gone to work. For the most part, that meant going to a desk and sitting after the run. Today was 8 hours straight on my feet and then running. I did a little over 7 miles which in hindsight was a little ambitious. I'm going to scale it back a little until I get more accustomed to it. I'm blaming it on age.
