About 2 months ago, I rediscovered something about myself...I can run if I need to. However, the mad dash from the mass transit terminal, through airport security, to my flight gate (that last leg done without shoes because it may have taken too much time to put them back on), also proved how out of shape I am. How in the world am I supposed to flee from a horde of decomposing brain munchers if I can barely make a plane? Other than hoping to not be the slowest in a group or that I could trip someone along the way?
Ding, ding, ding...winning answer would be cardio, lots of cardio with other physical achievements along the way. I've never really been in shape most of my life, so this will all be a bit new to me. There was a time when I was at a goal weight, decent muscle definition, but that lasted only a few months.
Brings me to today. Completely exhausted, lack of sleep combined with running around my office building most of the day left me drained. Usually I wouldn't even try to workout after a day like today, probably go home, have too much wine and fall asleep. Today I made myself workout, 45 minutes of cardio at a quick pace so I was sweating and breathing hard. First few minutes were a struggle, but most of the time flew by. I doubt sleep will be fleeting tonight.
Small victory on this long road; tomorrow is another day and another chance to keep heading away from the hoard.
