Day 332 – Discovery
I wish I could say today’s topic were going to shed light on
something profound; even something profound for me. But then sometimes life’s lessons come in the
most mundane wrappings. Today’s
discovery is one that will take some time – discovering the new ways traffic on
Interstate 405 has changed, and the choices that will result as I try to
discover the best time to enter into it to avoid the worst of the slowing.
I’ve been working out first thing in the morning at the 24
Hour Fitness in Long Beach (“working out” is a relative term, since I haven’t
been able to get there early enough to get a full workout; but half a workout
is better than nothing). The gym is
fairly close to the freeway entrance, which makes it convenient. However, traffic going through Orange County
seems to have worsened in the eight years since I was traveling it twice a day. It’s awful, though not as bad as what I had
between Long Beach and West LA. Still….
Of course, it will take time to find out if what I’m running
into is the norm; I will have to look into finding a gym closer to my work (I
know there are several I can go to between Long Beach and Irvine), but until
then, I’m wondering if I can find the right time to leave home to get a real
workout, and then avoid the worst of traffic.
We’ll see.
