motivation

In fitness on 24 October 2004 with no comments

This weekend Kelly has a friend in town to run the Nike 26.2 Marathon. A self-described “terrible runner” I was amazed how she had completed a six month long program and was gearing up for tmw’s big event.

I have increasingly felt at odds with my physical state. Once very atlethic growing up, I now feel like I am constantly struggling with my body. Trying desperately to keep it intact and moving fluidly. I need some sort of sustained physical activity so that I don’t melt into an inactive puddle behind a computer screen.

So why don’t I motivate?! Running’s truly not for me, and horrible on my knee… but I’ve always admired the LifeCycle/AIDSRide cyclists. And I’ve had the ride in mind for months now, but what am I waiting for? Assuming the rain stops tmw I’m going to hit that pavement and get moving. Maybe this weekend’s unexpected inspiration was just what I was waiting for.
