So I came to this humbling and freeing revelation yesterday... I am not superwoman. I've worked & ran and gone to the gym; I've worked & ran and gone to school two days a week.... but I've never worked, ran and gone to the gym, and gone to school four days a week. Whew, it's ok if I struggle a little with this new schedule (pint night doesn't even fit in right now). Today I went on the elliptical for over an hour while I read Chemistry chapters.... I feel like that was a good use of my academic & training time. Even if it is unconventional.
Oh... and while in the gym, I meet one of my neighbors (who was working out in the dark when I arrived?) and during our introductory small talk conversation he said at some point I was doing it the right way... working out now instead of waiting till summer when my bathing suit doesn't fit. And proceeded to say a sentence or so later... because people won't tell you when you've gained weight in your bathing suit, but they're talking about you behind your back............... Is this randomness "customary first greeting" gym room conversation??? Or should I point out to the world right now that this proves one thing about training for a marathon... that you might be able to run 16 miles+ (up to 26.2) - without ever achieving the body of a supermodel.
