Original artist unknown, but found via fitterthanchocIsn't Emerson fantastic?
He always knows the right things to say.
Sore and tired from marathon training, but highly pumped. Haven't felt this fit in a long time. I'm doing 10k before breakfast!! I never used to be able to run on an empty stomach! Today I ran intervals - I had to run 1km in 5 minutes, 10 times! Sounds easy but it really wasn't!! Sore now, but the bottle of Mad Fish shiraz in the wine rack that is waiting to be opened when Tom gets home will make it easier. YAY for Friday nights - when I can have a drink!! :D
Novel has stalled a little, but I have remedied that by forcing myself to Starbucks at the end of the working day, as per the routine I had going late last year. It's working! Happily into Part 2 now, where things are starting to fall into place for the character. There will be a few more hurdles for her, but I'm having fun deciding what those will be.
Jody Hedlund had an excellent post over at her blog the other day that really made me think. I don't know whether this novel I'm writing right now is any good or whether it will ever have a life outside of my little netbook and the one or two PDFs I've sent to some brave friends - I only know that not writing it is not an option.
How are you all doing?
You are running before breakfast. You are writing a novel. You deserve the wine, big-time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quote - it has been duly saved in my "inspiration" file. On that note, if I could, I would save you in there at the moment, your energy for life at present is inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran and Tori :D xx
ReplyDeleteOH totally, I love this quote ever since a friend emailed it to me years ago during a rough time. Each day is only 24 hours and then it's time to start again. Refreshing : ) xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Phil!
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I commented but just wanted to add my thanks to the chorus for the inspirational quote and inspirational "you"! You must be feeling so fantastic right now with all that energy burning. And a glass of vino is definitely a good way to relax a bit - nicely accompanied with some Radox of course! ;o)
huwwow.
ReplyDelete10x1km reps....that is INTENSE, man!
I just bought some books about writing - "how to write a better thesis" and "how to get your research published in journals".
My blog is my main creative outlet.
Along with my exercise regimen (see my blog), I will need to commit to drawing one picture per week.
Well done for your training. I love this quote, how wonderful! Good luck with novel x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out on my post! Glad it got you thinking! Love when that happens. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell done honey! I am so so proud of you! Enjoy the feeling of being so fit and continue to be kind to yourself. Love you lots!
