is it weird that i kind of like that?
i did a kick-ass swim workout with ta this morning. my shoulders are KILLING me. something psycho possessed me to lift ARM weights beforehand, so i'm definitely feeling a horrible burning sensation in my shoulders right now. i wish i could say i felt tough or hard-core, but really...it's just painful. if it's this bad immediately afterwards, i'm a bit petrified about tomorrow.
and, i signed up for a half-marathon for sunday, which could have been idiotic since i haven't ran more than 6.5m since the Chicago debacle, but...i can still run 13.1m, right? it might not be pleasant, and i might not pr...but i'll survive it. i kind of want that ass-kicking right now, for some reason.
anyway...point is that i really should run today too. argh. i'm tired just thinking about it. or, maybe i'm just tired.
[how come the race always seems so much more appealing than the training?!]

For the same reason that graduating with your degree is more appealing than the coursework, or a wedding is more appealing than all the compromise you go through to make a relationship work. It's the celebration of all the blood, sweat, and tears that you worked through to get to a particular point.
Or, maybe it's just something we imagine is great in our minds to justify the masochism that we put ourselves through everyday. :)
Good luck on the half. And... I hope you do get a chance to ride your new bike before the weather tunrs. It's supposed to snow here in Northern Indiana on Wed. I'm not happy!
mouse---yeah, you're totally right. i think i do enjoy the process though, in the long run. it's just the anticipation of the process that i don't like, if that makes sense.
taskette--thanks for the luck! i think it just turned into winter last night. grrrr...(supposed to snow here tomorrow as well)
run well on sunday, AND enjoy the process!
i'm the othe way around, i can prepare and prepare and prepare, and never actually get there!
