Motivation and how to give up.

Been struggling with motivation issues since my Chicken Pox episode and since my annual event ended.

Started playing a little shuttle this last week. Its been good. The workout itself is not that hard. I remember when I started playing squash, it took me a month to figure out how to play it and I got a hell of a work out during that time. As I got better at it, the workout became less and less strenuous. I thought I was getting better at the game.

Actually, I was getting better at figuring out which ball I could take and which I could give up on even without trying. I realized this when I found that I was getting beaten by the same guy with the same or marginally different scores.

The same thing is happening in Shuttle, only faster. Wow - the knowledge of my body is increasing rapidly. In one week, I am able to figure out all the various ways in which I can give up. Picking up some cool expertise!

Until next time.

Taking a break....again!

Here I am taking another break. Right now its not injury that's holding me back - just a lack of motivation.

Its bloody hot and you have to start your run at 0500 if you want to escape the heat. Traffic is another pain in the glutes. Madras is so industrious that roads are full up by 0600. Running at that time is treacherous. Even so just getting up at 0345 for a 0500 run is unthinkable.

Anyway, Im off to Kodai next week and I hope to do some decent running there. No running for me for the next one week. No exercise either. I'll come back with a post on how much weight have gained. Already at 75kg and gaining fast.

Until next time.
