Solace
Had a lot of pent up energy which need to be spent somehow. Lately, I haven't been doing anything about it. So yesterday, I decided to go running. It was a good run. I like running at night because it's nice and cold, it's more peaceful, and it's a convenient time for me. I haven't run in months, but it turns out that I still had it ("it" being stamina and endurance) in me. Unfortunately, that's not true of my upper body strength. Doing pull-ups was quite difficult. I've been procrastinating on working out my arms and such because of injuries to my hands. But that's a poor excuse for not doing anything. My motivating was piqued by a friend who asked me how much I used to be able to bench, which used to be on the order of 300 and some pounds. My max probably hasn't changed, but in terms of rep-ping, I'm nowhere close to that anymore. I guess that's ok, because I feel faster and more agile than I used to be, which is more important to me. Brute strength can only go so far. Ironically, working out doesn't relieve my stresses or frustrations. My only solace comes through resolving issues mentally or just letting them go.
