An Architect's Blueprints

As I was exercising tonight, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time. A spark, and then a fire lit under me. A wave of ambition washed over me. Another elemental metaphor for drive and determination affected me. It was incredible. I found myself thinking “I can do this! I can do this!” I wasn’t just telling myself, I was screaming this in my head. I was in the zone, that focused point of high performance athletes attune themselves to.

I could see myself, a thinner, leaner, stronger me, the me I want to be more than anything else, cheering me on. It made me a little emotional. But it kept me going. And it felt great. And you can bet your ass I’ll be going back for more of that.

THAT’S MY GIRL!

Not bad for a guy whose been having back spasms all day.

Jogging/running has always been my least favorite thing because my boobs are huge. Luckily, I have a pretty good bra now, and I’ve been doing sporadic jogging with my mom and dog. But I didn’t test my endurance until today. 12 minutes isn’t a whole lot, but it’s good for me individually. I was only going about 4mph, but it’s still something. So I’m excited. I feel a lot more confident now and I can’t wait until I can get up to 20 minutes, 30, 45, an hour….it’ll be amazing.
