Marco had to be downtown at 9:30 to meet someone and pick up some books for a shoot and needed my car. He offered to drop me off at the stairs and pick me up after. I knew it would take him longer than it usually takes me to do my 5 sets and it did. So I just kept going. I kept thinking, "OK, I'll do 7 and then get a good stretch while I wait. Or if I still feel good maybe 8." Well, by the time I was finishing my 9th set, Marco came rolling up and I had already decided that if that was the case, I would ask him to give me 5 minutes so I could do a 10th set. WooHoo! And I felt really good, also because I was done so early in the day. I've been dragging myself there in recent weeks at 1 in the afternoon! Pathetic! And my runs seem to get later and later and later. Hmmm. Back in the day, I had discipline, my workout was the first thing I'd do. Then came the days of wine and Marco. Since I'm decreasing the wine intake, I'm noticing that it has a profound effect on my energy and focus the following day. I want to be healthy and fit again.
