I got a lot of emails today cheering me on about my transformation and telling me that I'm starting to motivate them to get in shape. It's humbling. One person wondered how I do it? They wondered if I had a job? Which I do. I put in a solid 8 hours a day like most people, typically eat lunch at my desk, respond to emails from home nights and weekends and do most of my training in the evening after dinner because I'm not a morning person. But the comments got me thinking and I realized that I live more than 24 hours in a day because I multi-task. For example, tonight I went for a run, listened to music and thought about work stuff. I was thinking so much it took me three Bee Gees songs to realize I was listening to the Bee Gees before I changed it. Then I had a bike ride tonight and I watched some TV, read Lance Armstrong's blog, surfed the net and then watched an hour of the Apple Keynote speech at Mac World 2009. I learnt so much about what Apple is coming out with. Stuff I got to get, like the new iPhoto that has face recognition to help organize your photo's. Then I realized by multitasking I'm doing more and making my day more productive and adding hours. That's my theory anyways. The highlight of my run tonight was to watching a guy training a seeing eye pup, he was so gentle and I wondered if the little dog realized he was going to have a very important role in someones life. What a beautiful dog. Both my training sessions tonight were moderate effort with a heart rate not to exceed 135 bpm. These are supposed to be the easy, relaxing workouts and the off season, yeah right, it doesn't feel like it.
