I walked to and from campus (about a mile each way). I then walked to and from the local LDS temple (also a mile each way, and in hotter weather). Soon after that, I danced for an hour (social dance).
I got some adequate rest after that, and then some friends invited me to play soccer with them. At first, I didn't feel like playing soccer because I'm not too great at it, and I was quite tired. But, I decided that I had enough energy to play for a bit, so I played soccer with my friends for about an hour.
Not only did I have enough energy to enjoy the game and make a meaningful contribution for my team, I gained some degree of confidence in my soccer playing. I realized that I could best serve my team by hanging out back near the goal. Not nearly as much running around, and I was actually semi-successful in helping to defend the goal!
Not only am I grateful that I wasn't weary as I ran nor faint as I walked, I am grateful that I've found a suitable place to be useful in friendly soccer games. :)
