« my walk with an Olympian | Main | better »
December 1, 2004
Note to self: 
If I want to get to work on time, and I do, would it be so hard to prep lunch and clothes the night before?
I've wanted to get in early, even, but when you decide to walk in, and leave the house at 7:26, you aren't likely to even be on time. Sigh.
Anyways. I did about 30 minutes on the exercycle and 30 minutes walking. Tried to think about and incorporate the things that Philip had talked about yesterday. Figured out at least part of the front yard reconfiguration.
I'm reading an exercise book right now that is really bugging me. Why do I continue to read it? I'm hoping for the payoff. The thing that is severely bugging me is that I'm 60 pages in, and so far, it's all been about how whatever I am doing is wrong, and how their approach is right, and each chapter ends with an exhortation to do blah-blah-blah (their exercise plan) NOW! Of course, I perhaps would have started blah-blah-blah if they would just tell me what it is. But I suppose if they did that, they would have an extended pamphlet, rather than a book. I know that you sell with the sizzle, but where's the meat?
And Natasha seems to be much better. We have her contained in the bedroom so we can keep track of her input and output, and this morning she was affectionate and moving around, as well as eating, drinking and the rest.

Everyone has a theory, y'know? But they do make good reading material while you are working out. For me, if I just got myself to the gym, then I'd be ok. Something was better than nothing. :)

Ah, yes they do. I finally got to the prelude to the actual exercises--where they are talking about what you need to have--and I probably read 30 pages to get to this point. They say you need a metronome for the exercises. This is looking less and less likely!
BTW, I am totally jealous about your trail run. I used to love swimming in Pinckney lake when I lived in A2. I miss sweetwater lakes!

Will you share the name of the book? I'm just curious. Your time with Phil sounds wonderful. Jeff Galloway is coming to DC this weekend but I'm already booked. Oh well.
