I blew off everything I was planning to do this morning (no catastrophic surprise there) to hit the Monotonous Machine of Monotony in our basement. I wanted to test the pain in my foot after seven days of medication and a month and a half of no-impact exercise no exercise.
I forgot how much I love to sweat.
I forgot how much I love filling my lungs to capacity.
I forgot how much easier music penetrates through the noise when exercising.
I forgot how profitable exercise is to my creative mind.
I’m not sure my foot is ready for running again, but I will hit the Monotonous Machine of Monotony again on Monday.
WooHoo!!! Go Jen Go! I’m hoping for a foot-pain-free weekend.
Wow! I’m so glad you like exercise, and that it boosts your creativity! I think that’s amazing. I hope your foot feels better.
I’ve been avoiding exercising for months. And now I’m feeling stuck creatively. I complain about it in my journal, and keep coming to the same conclusion: I need to MOVE more. Why do I fight something that does me so much good?
