Some people think I'm crazy to drive that far just for a workout..fortunately there's this forum so I can post this to people who can relate.
So as I was attempting to peel myself off the couch last night while waiting for the wife to come home from work.. (ohh, the pain...)I came up with this list of other things I could have done in that hour it took to make the drive.
Ironed clothes
Cleaned bathtub
wrote out bills
went to a happy hour..and ate like a pig.
watched Oprah (not on a dare)
googled Rosie O'Donnell (see above)
Yep, it sure does seem like I threw away an hour of my life for no good reason...
;-)
When someone asks me why I make the trip...I put it in these terms..take your favorite thing in the world, regardless of what it is..reading a good book, cooking a good meal..whatever. Now imagine that Steven King or Emeril LaGasse lived an hour away from you, and you had free time enough to visit them live...you can't tell me you wouldn't make the trip...I've yet to get a no answer to that one.
See, I'm not so crazy..or maybe I am, and just lucky enough to have a forum to discuss this with people just as crazy as me...and I mean that in a good way!!
