Exercise
Campaigning is stressful and very demanding. There are days I sit down at the computer in the morning and I'm still doing office work at 8 p.m. But last night we had a fundraiser that included an oldies dance band. Since I'm the candidate's wife, instead of sitting at the back table passively watching what everyone else is doing, I got out and danced - helping to liven up the evening. I must have danced for at least two solid hours! I was "dressed up" so I had shoes with a small heel on them. That was just enough to stress my knees. So today not only where my leg muscles sore, my knees hurt. AND, I had to get up and go meet up with a bunch of family volunteers to go walk precincts. We walked for at least four hours. By the time I got to the cement floors of Costco to do some quick grocery shopping before heading home to cook dinner for visitors, my legs felt like jelly and my knees HURT. It was too much really. But I have to say, if I keep this up, I'm going to end up getting fit. Even a small county is big when you're walking the entire thing street by street.
