I met a girl in the middle of January. My friend recommended me to meet her last summer when it turned out that we've similar interests and background. We met on the third attempt, but it was definitely worth it.
I rarely meet people who seem to me self-sufficient and do things that matter. Maybe I just need to socialize more often. Who knows. Anyway, this girl made a good impression and this meeting was inspiring to me, actually.
I've got some stereotypes about women like they are not those who I need to take seriously when we're talking about discipline, efforts and pure energy. All of the things without which you can't succeed in goals that demand natural, honest growth. I'm not talking about inability of women to succeed in something. I'm talking about specific fields where success depends on you only, where you can't use someone else's help. The fields where tricks don't work.
This time I met a girl who is better than me in things that I feel important. She captured my interest almost immediately. She ran a marathon last September. I didn't. She's preparing for Tokyo's marathon that was held a week ago. I felt uncomfortable running when the temperature is below zero. I exercise six to eight months a year only. When I was looking at her the thought that I need to catch up came to my mind. The sooner, the better.
I was thinking that I have nothing but my job, a week ago. Suddenly I realized that in six months I'll be 27 years old and it seems that I'll have the same limited life experience. I decided to run a marathon this year, bought warm clothes and did three workouts during this week.
I want to upgrade myself in some other interests, but I need to take one step at a time and give it at least a couple of weeks to get used to my new way of life with exercises. Maybe I'll put my efforts in spoken proficiency in English despite the fact that it can cost me a fortune as our currency (rubles) blew up and costs twice less in dollars than six months ago.
