11/22/2014 - Momentum and Planning

So - I've decided that in addition to my couch-to-5k reboot I'm going to look into incorporating the pooch-to-5k (http://www.poochto5k.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/PoochTo5kTimed.pdf) training program.

My big buddy is antsy all the time, he needs exercise (not to imply that I don't also need a ton of exercise) - it starts off easy enough, so it may be just the thing.  Also read an interesting 'article' (its an advertisement) today about the 'price of being lean' - clearly the price isn't that high, I'm just being a lazy shit.  The problem with being lazy is momentum.  When I used to run every day, running was easy - it was relaxing and it was almost a form of moving meditation.  A body in motion staying in motion and all of that. . . the flip side of that is that now that I am lazy, I'm a body at rest,  all I do is rest, and without a serious investment of energy I am never going to get moving again.

As far as planning -
Well, I've picked four schools to apply to - for what will amount to bachelors in at least one more subject - basically, I didn't so much pick a major, I picked places I might like to go to, or places I could go to while continuing to work at my current job. . .
yes - that isn't so much making a 'plan' as it is to not committing to anything . . .
but I'll take it as forward steps at this time. . .

Monday - the running begins - well - mostly walking, but hell - I'll take it.

Tonight, I drink coffee, watch shitty tv and stay up all night.
