"An Up And Down Day"

Sounds like life eh?  Without no downs, there can't be no ups I suppose.  Then again that sounds like a bit of a compromise at best, and at worst, just a cynical attitude.  Why can't it all be up?

And while some might make the challenge that you wouldn't even recognize good feelings without the bad, I figure I'm beyond that point.  I knew damn well  during my workout today, and for several hours afterwards, that I felt good.

Then of course one must consider the possibility that the things one does to feel good in the short term, can have the opposite effect in the long term.  That may explain some of my recent frustrations with my health, as I consider the possibility that my fitness obsessions may have a long term negative consequence?

Or then again. maybe it's all just bullshit and I should just shut up and get on with it...whatever it may be!

Regardless it was still an up and down kind of day, and Michael gave me permission to whine.  I woke up very tired and can again report a myriad of insane dreams which included driving in a winter storm without headlights,  people who could run as fast as cars, and this is the best yet..... calves with extra distorted heads on the ends of extra appendages....very disturbing!!

Then I felt quite a bit better after having breakfast with a friend who thinks he has child problems.  His kids likes to smoke marijuana, and doesn't like to work for a living.  I told him those were all good things!

I also felt quite good throughout my workout, as it was the best kind.  The kind where you start out tentatively, but get stronger and stronger as it wears on.  There is definitely a difference in how my body reacts to riding as opposed to running.  I have to figure that out.  I can also tell you that I'm already ready for summer, so that I can take my bike and disappear form the world for hours at a time.

Then after eating and reading for a bit I fell asleep and have felt crappy ever since.  My chest feels heavy and I feel lethargic.

Life goes on...

I'm gonna wrap some Xmas presents.
