That being said, I'm sick AGAIN and haven't been to the track in three weeks because I'm coughing. But I was struck by that in January - one night when I was running, it was a struggle to get through ONE lap. Are you kidding me? Not one mile out of my three. Lap. Just bizarre. But I pushed through, much like we do with writing! I can't wait to be back out there pushing through some more (exercise)!!Jennie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088195986628533511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-63998852985918338112012-03-29T09:48:51.445-07:002012-03-29T09:48:51.445-07:00I think I must be one of those writers/exercisers ...I think I must be one of those writers/exercisers who's in great shape and can run forever...but its all on a treadmill and I'm not really going anywhere! :)DL Hammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007260062331783715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-45665615661802999172012-03-29T08:27:49.900-07:002012-03-29T08:27:49.900-07:00Oh I LOVE this post!

Last year I started running and thought for sure it would eventually become easy. Well, it became easier but never easy. And some days were extra hard. But it was worth it for how I felt afterward. Same goes for writing. After the grueling fight it sometimes seems to be, it feels amazing.Ruth Jossehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664678990038670303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-31011620483794843542012-03-29T08:15:51.045-07:002012-03-29T08:15:51.045-07:00At least while writing you can eat cheesecake and ...At least while writing you can eat cheesecake and not feel counterproductive right? Lol.<br /><br />But so true! I hit a wall and stare at the blinking cursor FOREVER and I feel like chucking the computer across the room. But I know that won't solve anything either. :)Cassie Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706774393186819619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086092860215091270.post-3499472104007666772012-03-29T07:50:16.326-07:002012-03-29T07:50:16.326-07:00Oh, those elusive highs!
