Does anyone get any work at all done during their first hour? I like to sit at my desk, check e-mail and blogs, open my coffee thermos and inhale deeply, just to wake up a bit before really getting anything done, even before attempting to get anything done. i wish i was the type of person who woke up long before i had to leave for work. if i could have it my way, i would jog shower, breakfast, do dishes, watch television and smoke several cigarerettes before jumping in the car to work. with all that, i'd be waking at 4:30 am and going to sleep at 9 every night! yesterday when i was looking at the 5k to 10k jogging schedule, i realized i might have to wake up before 6 am a couple days a week in order to properly train.
i look too far ahead. i look at the 10k training and immediately think "i can't do that." who taught me not to believe i could do anything? last night i watched "million dollar baby" and was completely awe-inspired by hillary swank's character. she was so determined, even when her trainer told her she was too old, too weak, too inexperienced. our bodies are so powerful and resilient and i see so many people (myself included) doing nothing to challenge their (my) physical bodies. i'm not on some rampage to get everyone in shape. i'm sure there will be plenty of times in my life where i'm not challenging my body, either. but right now, i want to be.
UH!
