So it is 7:02 pm on Labor Day. I have had a weekend where I have got to see some good friends, spend time with family, and eat and drink enough for me to finally say this is enough. While this reoccurring theme of abuse and then enlightenment has been going on since I live in Tucson in 2004 I am going to try yet another approach. Recording what I put in my suck hole!
My running right now sucks. And when I say sucks I mean really sucks. I ran tonight a 4 mile loop not because I wanted to, but because Danielle, the fiancé insisted it will make me feel better. I feel bad for her. She doesn’t know the once motivated athlete. I have progressively ballooned in weight and struggled with motivation. Everyone has an idea of what their ideal shape should be. Whether it is the number you see when you step on the scale, or the way your favorite jeans fit, or the numbers on your watch when you run the loop that you have known for years.
For a decade or so I would sign up for races as a way to keep myself true to myself. If I signed up for a marathon in 2 months I knew I couldn’t be pounding beers and slamming down double cheese burgers every day. I knew what it would feel like on the day of the race that way I knew what to avoid. IN both actitivites and eating.
So we will see how this goes. The time of transition with the condo purchase still a month a way and long days in the car to go to a job where I feel like there is so much to learn, I guess it’s a matter of time before it seems routine once again. Until later, Josh.
PS My fantasy football draft just finished. I am the Lowell Mill Girls, how do you think I did?
