Day 80 - a special visit

My indulgence day was too fun to occupy one post. Little did I know that Patrick was coming to town to visit his old high school. Where we met 14 years ago. I had seen him twice since his graduation. My learning obout PCP happened when a mutual friend went to his wedding this year. A powerful sequence of events for me...for sure. It was great to catch up and today he came over for an early AM workout. Too much fun.

I have been settling back in to a post indulgence groove. Today's eating has been spot on. The workout was great - bicycle is a killer.

I have been thinking about the difference between starting something and finishing something. Certainly we are in the stretch run on PCP. But, finishing PCP in not an end game anything. It feels more like a launch. A powerful launch of Watson 4.8 (I turned 48 in April). People ask me what I am training for and I tell them I am training for the next 10 years. They laugh.

But I am not kidding. I have some big boy things to do and I need to be in peak condition to do it. The confidence alone is worth the time and energy. Not to mention how people treat me differently.

The big difference is that I feel so great. People pick up on that vibe like the way a dog can smell fear.

Working out at dark 30 tomorrow. I liked it this morning.

Go team GO! Lets start something.
