Hal Week 1??
I lifted tonight because Hal's schedule says nothing about running on Monday's. You may also find it interesting (or boring) to know that I have apparently suffered no after effects from my 4.3 mile Sunday jog. Neat.
I did a back and biceps workout. It was ok, nothing special. I recommend doing hammer curls after you finish your sets of regular curls, trust me you'll like it--your arms will scream out, "what the heck??" Something about curling with your arm in that position, ummmm... its funky, a little unnatural. Like reverse forearm curls, same deal. It will make you stronger. You will hit the golf ball further too. In other news I wish I had a lat pull down machine thingy. Maybe I should just do lat pull downs at the gym? Novel idea?
I'm afraid to follow a set running schedule. Any set running schedule. What is up with that? I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it. Obviously my subconcious needs to overcome this. What if I'm tired on that day and I can't do it? What if?? I wish I worked less, that would be neat too. My brain needs to work this all out or I will never be able to do anything, ever. Ever. This is a core issue with me right now I do believe. I can wrap my brain around the problem but I can't really untangle the mystery. Its like one of those knots in the cord of your headphones. You know its not (ha get it?) supposed to be there, you understand your headphones will last longer without the knot, but eh whatever I can still run and listen to music with the knot. Eventually, 13 knots later your music sucks because you never untangled the first knot. So you throw out the $20 headphones and buy new ones ha ha ha.
There is a widely circulating rumor that Ask Jeev3s has purchased bloglines (supposedly this week it will officially be official!). If this is true oh please askj, please do not screw up that little service, its mighty handy.
I read today that Coke is soon to produce a diet coke with Splenda. Interesting eh?

Maybe the problem is fearing that if you don't precisely follow the exact schedule that the whole effort will be ruined. Sort of extremist, rigid thinking. A form of perfectionism, or performance anxiety.
I know I do that often -- believe that if I commit to something and don't follow-through precisely according to plan that I've failed, and thusly, my entire life is useless and I suck. It's a pattern of irrational thought that's hard to get away from, especially if you have high standards for yourself and from others, but I've found that the more I allow myself to do things imperfectly, I'm easier on myself and able to become more flexible.
