I was (and I still kind of am) training for the Seattle Rock n Roll marathon (June 27), and instead of listening to music on my iPod (the same stuff I’ve heard over and over for years), I decided that for this training I will listen to audiobooks and podcasts.
One of the first audiobooks I listened to was “Dry” by Augusten Burroughs, and he talks about going to rehab and getting sober and how the rehab people were like, “Don’t forget to go to the AA meetings when you get out of rehab. That’s so important. Go 90 days-90 meetings. If you found time to drink before, you can find time for a meeting now.” So it got me thinking, “If I found time to sit on the couch, then I can find time to workout.” So I created my 90 days/90 workouts strategy. If I get in shape, that's a plus. I'm just curious to see if I can do this and remember what is motivating me. I just have to do some kind of workout each day for the next 90 days.
I figure if an alcoholic can find time for a meeting every day (God bless 'em), then I can find time for a workout.
