I finally understand

I don't want Jack to take any offense to what i'm about to say but...

(Don't you just love things that start that way?)

I thought the man was insane - He would get so into exercise that that was all he talked about - he would live and breath it and I who was never into it would just go bonkers. Add to that the fact that I never got why people would do marathons, or swim around Key West, or hike the Appellation trail (or Hike period!) I just figured I wasn't give the gene that made me want to exercise.

But now I'm hooked. I can't imagine my life with out it.

Last week I swam M T W F and did my work out video M, W, Th, Sat 2 times with a Hike on Tuesday and Yoga on friday night. I look back at my log and I'm amazed with myself and yet... when I took Sunday to rest my body - I ended up in the yard pulling out a bush (with Jack's able assistance) because the thought of sitting still all day made me cringe. I actually did a bunch of cleaning up in the yard, and I washed both dogs.

I can't say this enough - it feels good. Really really good.

You have been like the Energizer Bunny lately.

In my own defense, even I have limits. I think ultra-runners and full Iron-Man competitors are pretty nuts. There is a line between fitness and self abuse.

BTW, you didn't mention that you passed the hump on the Great Barrier Reef swim today.
