I had a great run this morning. I had forgotten how great the morning really is. I had a full moon with a reddish hue at about 6:15 and it flirted constantly with some clouds on the horizon. Then as the sun started rising there were some grey clouds a few miles away that were raining and they were highlighted by the peach light cast by the sun. All very romantic and way to sappy for this manly blog. (LOL)
I have discovered that I am a bit like Sea Biscuit. A couple of hundred yards ahead of me there was a lady running and all I wanted to do was run her down and pass her. I don't think it would have even mattered if she was in a wheel chair, in my head all I wanted to do was go past her. So I did, it was great motivation. Then I realized I did it on the bike ride on Saturday as well. This really is great motivation and highlighted the need to continually set goals. As soon as I passed her my goal disappeared and I wasn't quite prepared for it and I found my body stopped responding the way I wanted it to. It took more effort to run when I didn't have a focused goal. I guess the moral is that I need to plan ahead for when I meet my goals so there is another goal waiting.

Hey Pal... You're a flippin stud! The last time I exercised was... well... hmmm... I can't remember. I think about it a lot and I imagine how good it would feel. I want to start, but even that wouldn't help my "ugly mug." :) I admit, I am no Brad Pitt. ~Very insightful thoughts... sort of like how most people who die climbing Everest, reach the summit, but die on the way down... interestng. We miss you guys... I think we will be in Utah the week after Christmas. You guys will probably be in SoCal though. If not you can dust the cob webs off your snowboard, what do ya say?. Cheers mate... keep it up! -Scott
I like the sound of getting out there and heading up to Brighton. Scott you know that I think you are the sexiest man alive especially with that cool new scar. Pitt has nothing on you!
Now who's being a big girls blouse? I never knew you had a man crush on me. :) Just kidding, it's true I am a big girls blouse, instead of getting out and running like you... I grab a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips. Yum! -Scott
Sorry boys, but this conversation is sounding way to much like the "You're skinnier" conversations girls always have:
"way TOO much." They really need to let you edit your comments after you publish them!
