I fell off the wagon. I was pretty sick with a stomach thing for four days and then had a three-day migraine. Sandwich that between getting kidnapped and pulling long shifts at work and it's been almost two weeks since my last confession.

I'm gonna start up again on Monday but it's gonna huuuuuurrrrrrt.

I'll say the same thing I ask myself and my wife when it comes to resuming exercise: Why wait?  If you can go now, go.  Putting it off until some future time (however definite) assumes your future self will have more willpower than your present self.  Why would that be?

That's not really putting it off. Monday is just a couple of days away and maybe she has a busy weekend planned.

Pain is penitence.
Pain is weakness leaving the body.

How You Feel is a Lie
That phrase is the Broz mantra. You simply can't listen to your body because it's lying to you. Broz can cite countless examples of athletes setting PR's on days they didn't even want to train, as well as days where the athlete felt like a million bucks but didn't fare so well in the gym.

Fact is, when I visited Broz he explained that the previous week his wrist was so sore that he could barely warm up with the bar during split jerks, but he pushed through it, eventually felt warmed up, and ended up jerking 405 lbs. The following day his wrist pain had vanished.

He describes this phenomenon as "floating pain" – your body has to hurt somewhere. It will simply migrate from one place to the next while you sleep, and when you awaken you'll discover where it landed.

I completely agree with Jay Dub and Bobby- especially bobby.  Somedays I am all, fuck, I do not want to run today- I sit on my porch just chain smoking and wasting time, then I leave really late, which makes me kinda stressed and not want to do it in itself- then I do the best I have ever done/best I've done that week, whatever.  I always thought it was really weird and am kinda glad to know that is a thing.  Also, somedays I feel great and am looking forward to run and...well, I randomly suck.

I have been yelling at my legs to shut up recently.  Fuck those guys.

Paul has my back here. Yeah, I basically have no days between now and Monday where I have time to run, even on my treadmill, because I'm working extra this weekend and have a billion other things going on. Unless I want to run at 11PM, which, seriously, fuck that noise.

To be fair, when I wrote that it was Thursday and I thought it was Friday. Ha ha ha....

Biking to work, my feeling is "oh god let it end, another hill, whyyy"
biking home I start up a hill and am like LET IT BURN YOU WIMPY ASSHOLE, BURN THOSE SKINNY LITTLE LEGS TO ASH. I go so much faster on the way home. What is the deal. That direction should be a lot harder, since it is uphill away from the river. Hmm.

Probably because you want to go home, but you don't want to go to work.

It also helps that night time is less hot, less sunny, and there are fewer cars. I also think I need to stretch before I bike to work... that first hill always feels awful.
