Today you'll get a series of much shorter, much more direct posts. We'll start with a habit that has become quite troubling. It started last week, and I noticed that it peaked yesterday. I'm not sure if I should call a doctor or if I should immediately drive to the psychiatric hospital to turn myself in. I'm nervous. I'm scared. I...I'm...I'm a fitness nut! The basketball seemed to be the gateway drug, but with the purchase of my running shoes, I'm starting to branch out into wider activities. I ran for 20 minutes last Wednesday and then lifted. I've lifted with Molly three times in the past week. I lifted Saturday. I elliptical-ed Sunday. Without hesitation yesterday, I grabbed my gym bag and headed down to work out even though we didn't have a lunch basketball game. I ran two miles on the treadmill, then jumped off and lifted and did sit-ups for 15 minutes. I've checked my temperature a couple of times to make sure I don't have some kind of fever that is making me delirious, but it turns out that I might just enjoy physical activity. If I can keep this up, I think I might even be able to shave 10 minutes off of my last 5k time (not something I should be particularly proud of since I was pretty bad, but still). If my body holds up, I think I have a real chance to not just lose a bunch of weight, but to also have a much more fit body when bikini season rolls around. As I start to look for more and more strenuous ways to push myself, I think March Madness might just live up to its name!
