"From Lazy to Stir Crazy"

Yesterday I was ok with just feeling lazy, but today I'm feeling caged. Because I don't know this area at all I can't go jogging and the treadmill just doesn't work for me. I managed about 25 minutes and then couldn't stand it any longer. I should have done the stairs perhaps, but that ain't much fun either. So I tried to do some stretching in my room, and a few pushups and stuff, and I suppose I will survive until I get home late tomorrow afternoon. Then I can get back outside where I prefer to live a large part of my life. It is a beautiful thing about our country that we have such varied weather. I love the entire range of it.

I had planned on going back to Mexico next week but those plans have changed and so next week I intend on working my butt off in all 3 disciplnes. I hope that will also mean that I will have some more inspiring thoughts to share than my recent pathetic attempts.

Speaking of pushups, I remember a funny moment when I first started trying to regain my strength, was the day that I could do 5 pushups and I was so proud. It took me a few moments to realize that I was doing them from my knees!! For the last 2 days in a row I have done 30 nonstop!!

I wish to dedicate day 49 to my boss Scott Turner, who has earned my respect for the boss he is, but much more so for the person he is.

And, because I fail to inspire I give you the thought's of others to do so.

1)on being trapped--“There was a power outage at a department store yesterday. Twenty people were trapped on the escalators."----Stephen Wright

2)on the need to rum--"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."---Anonymous

And finally on the mind body connection--"There are people who have no bodies, only heads. And many athletes have no heads, only bodies. A champion is a man who has trained his body and his mind, who has learned to conquer pain for his own purposes. A great athlete is at peace with himself and at peace with the world; he has fulfilled himself. He envies nobody. Wars are caused by people who have not fulfilled themselves." ---Sam Dee

Viva con pasion...
