...I ran 5 mile repeats with large dog on this 50 degree summer morning.
...I can bike for hours at a time at speeds I never thought I would ever be able to do.
...I can sign up and run a marathon on a whim.
...I can lift heavy weights on the regular.
...I can train before the sun comes up and not begin to fall asleep at work until at least 2 PM every day.
...I have more race t-shirts and medals than any human being will ever, ever need.
...I have run 20 overnight long-distance relays where I made some awesome running friends.
...I would worship the person who first mass-marketed iced coffee to the world...if I knew who he/she was.
...I used to look like this.
...now I look like this.
...I am fed up with thinking about the body parts on my body that could be skinnier.
I'm tired of forever-scrutinizing where I have excess body fat and feeling bad about it being there. I'm 43-years tired of this. It's time to think about the parts that do all the above amazing things (that I couldn't do at 23, by the way) rather than on the parts that I wish didn't bulge in odd ways when I put on clothing.
And now that I got that off my chest, it's also time to think more about replacing the water in my water bottle with iced coffee 24/7.
Tomorrow's workout: Cycling, but not for 2 hours, peeps. I gotta get to work some time in the morning.
