I Heart Pain

5:15 my alarm goes off every morning, I hate the morning, hit the snooze button, close my eyes... *beep*,*beep*,*beep*.... s#%t! Fine. I roll out of bed and fall into the gym, I'm not even sure how I got here. Eyes still bleary, I take off my coat, tie my shoes and once again step onto the hamster wheel for a 3 mile run.

The ironic thing about this is that when I miss a day like yesterday due to a business trip, I feel incredibly guilty. Like I cheated on a test or kicked a cute puppy. All day long I feel the need, the need to experience the pain of the gym.

In the end it's more the result rather then the experience that I enjoy. I feel better, more energy for the day and a sense of accomplishment. Like knowing that I could have kicked the puppy, but I chose not to.

I can honestly say that I am a goal oriented person, if I am lacking of big goals then I flounder. XTERRA is a perfect reason for me to get out of bed in the morning and punish my body for being fat and lazy. I could probably do any sport event, but XTERRA intrigues me due to a little more challenge and the fun factor of off-road.
