b) I need a body bandage.
c) All of the above
Ever since I got down to Lejeune and since I'm not distracted by relaxing at home with the fam, I decided to start hazing myself. Not gonna lie, I was kinda inspired by 1 Corinthians 9:24-27:
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives
the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes
in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to
receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Therefore I run in
such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but
I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to
others, I myself will not be disqualified.
Paul just pumps me up. And as I typed that up, I was pleased to remember that on the opposite side of my St Gabriel Possenti medal is St Paul. It's all coming together!
I'm trying to vary my workouts so I don't get bored and then super-dread working out. So far I've been doing a good job of that - biking, swimming, running, outside, inside, P90X....
P90X consists of me yelling at Tony (the trainer) on the TV and humiliating myself as I attempt to get my body to do what he's telling me to do. I'm at the point that it's not yet a true workout because I'm just flopping my body around in vain effort to do the reps correctly...but even though I'm not...IT STILL HURTS.
Sunday night I decided to throw in the yoga DVD since I was pretty sore and I've been noticing I have the flexibility of a geriatric (what's happening to my body????????????). I turned on the TV only to realize Jeff Cavins was giving a Bible study on EWTN on King David...and since I'm doing a self-guided retreat on David....and since I love Jeff Cavins....I decided - why not?! I'll just keep EWTN on and throw the P90X DVD in my laptop and watch both! Yeah well it got awkward.
It's kinda hard to describe the feeling of Jeff Cavins looking out at you pontificating on the Book of Kings when you're attempting to position your body in such a way that there were times I couldn't decide if this was yoga or if I accidentally put in P90X Kama Sutra. A few times I had to ask myself whether I would have to go to confession after I completed the workout.
And "Crane"? Who came up with THAT? WHO CAN DO THAT? I felt like an idiot. I basically sat on my head while the P90X people performed their insane Cirque de Soleil craft.
