An old butterfly reemerges from a new cocoon

Mon mari et moi n'avons jamais le sexe. Il me rend triste et solitaire.


Regarding yesterday's post, yes, Mr. Know-it-all is quite the jackass. I long for the day that I can tell him so. It will, of course, be my last day to work for him. Thanks for the book title, Mary. I think I might run to Border's this weekend and pick one up - and casually leave it on his desk....

My knees were feeling a bit achy this morning after yesterday's long run, so I decided to give them a rest and go for the elliptical instead. I'm amazed at how quickly the human body can adapt to rigorous exercise. A few months ago it was painful for me to work the elliptical for 45 minutes; it took a great deal of willpower. Now, even at a high resistance, it's child's play. In fact, I had to work hard just to get my heart rate up to a respectable bpm.

Hopefully this adaptation is a sign that the old me, that is, my "old" body is beginning to emerge. I'm beginning to see my "old" legs, though my ass and abs are lagging behind somewhat. I want it, though, and I'll continue to push hard for it. And once I reach that/her/me I will never again take that/her/me for granted.

Scout's honor.
