“Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement.” 
― Aldous Huxley, The Art of Seeing

Some days I get this momentum, this feeling of never ending energy. For me it’s all about the inertia – getting going is always hard – okay, sometimes brutal – but once I’m moving, I can go on forever. Today felt like one of those days. After a few days of laying low, I was ready to get out and MOVE. An early wakeup at 5:05 to get to November Project. Stadiums. Up the big steps, down the little ones. Watermelon. Being last. I show up at the 5:30 because it takes me double the amount of time to do the full tour as everyone else. If I come early, the 6:30 class starts by the time I’m finishing up and I still feel inspired by the party. And then I registered for the B.A.A. Half! That’s two half marathons that I’m registered for. (I’m also going to do the Chilly Half again. Even though I swore after I finished it last year that I’d never run it again.) This afternoon I went to Olympic lifting clinic, and then headed out for a long walk with a friend. The next few days I’ll be laying low again, tapering for a race this weekend – I’m looking forward to the rest too!
