Take Your Marks

Last night there was a mini-squabble. I wanted to wake up today and work out, Pookie got frustrated: "Can't you just take one day off?" But, it's not like exercise is a punishment I place on myself. It is deeply cleansing and rewarding, and that's why I want to do it every day. Of all days in the year, I should give myself the joy of a strength training workout on Christmas morning.

I wish I had been introduced to exercise earlier in my life. I remember a friend whose mom made her run a mile every day over summer vacation in 7th grade. At the time, I pictured the mom with fangs because it sounded so evil. But now...I should be so lucky.

Incidentally...I am on the edge of signing up for a marathon...

:/

Nac: wrightsville beach marathon/your visit is in 93 days, 1 hour, and 9 minutes
Nac: GET YOUR RUNNING SHOES ON
Nac: WE'RE RUNNING FROM MY HOUSE TO THE RACE
Me: What! No!
Nac: WE'RE GOING HARDCORE
Nac: MAKE THE NEWS
Nac: CRAZY FRIENDS RUN 10 MARATHONS ON THE WAY TO A MARATHON
Nac: headliner

Merry Christmas, y'all!

Just do your best. It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity.

Of course working out isn't a punishment. The punishment is me having to watch Jillian Michaels yell at you on Christmas.
