Can I be honest? Half of me is full of the ...Kay! Can I be honest? Half of me is full of the feeling: HIP HIP HOORAY FOR KAY! And the other half... okay, maybe it's more like a quarter, a very bitchy quarter... feels more like, "Aw shut up! You and your motivation and your athletic diligence and your endless successes!"<br /><br />OKAY, good! Now that I've gotten that off my chest I feel free to celebrate you EARNESTLY and SINCERELY.<br /><br />(I think, for the sake of gaining a more accurate perspective, I should start reading your blog in alternation with one of those people who hates to sweat. But please don't feel disinclined to blog about your fitness trials and successes! I'm just congenitally begrudging of facing how diligent others can be. Sometimes Paul will get dressed in his bike clothes, and I'll ask, accusingly, "You're not going for a BIKE RIDE, are you?!" It's my own issue. Like one of those women who hates to see skinny people eat. I feel vaguely accused when others do, with seeming ease, what is hard for me. Although... you said, it's harder to work out in the am, right? So it's a struggle for you, too. Well... we can struggle together.)<br /><br />Heh. I don't know if I should post this comment; although, I'm not sure what's potentially more offensive... the "b" word, or, the truth of my actual feelings?<br /><br />I do love you and am proud of your accomplishments. Also, you've inspired me, on occasions when I would otherwise not have, to run! Sometimes I go out and I feel like I have an imaginary Karen Buddy running alongside me. (Or--sometimes--striding far in front. Sometimes I scheme how to outrace you... Can you say "competitive"?!! I have to beat IMAGINARY running buddies. HA! Geez. I recently read how perfectionists--and I'm a recovering one--tend to be quite competitive and hate to lose at anything. Interesting how well that fits, eh?)<br /><br />Well... end of this little confessional bit of free therapy.<br /><br />I'm proud of you, sweetheart. <br /><br />XO-H.heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194614616594881998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662156573208048976.post-14447127573163148092009-12-17T21:00:02.317-07:002009-12-17T21:00:02.317-07:00Great job on the morning workouts!Great job on the morning workouts!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107067361789483083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662156573208048976.post-1478087039137149092009-12-17T15:11:06.455-07:002009-12-17T15:11:06.455-07:00Wow Karen, I am seriously impressed. I have never...Wow Karen, I am seriously impressed. I have never (with the exception of college, when I had to be in class by 11) gotten exercise in before work! Good on ya! As a matter of fact, I just had a piece of chocolate cheesecake, courtesy of the company, so I will have to ride for an hour tonight. Oh.

It's a great time of day to work out for me, and working out is better than working... so now I've been working out consistently for 3 months. :)Nick Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035060506176058199noreply@blogger.com
