Pride

I thought I was all bad-ass by swimming three times a week. But then I watched the Olympics and thought "holy shizer" those women have great bodies and must swim at least four times a week! Anyway, I found out today that this woman I work with named Marica swims ten more laps than I do! As it turns out, I'm just paddling around the water like an old lady and imagining that I'm a triathlete who doesn't need to prove anything. I didn't think I was competitive about swimming (especially since I get smoked in the fast lane on a regular basis), but it turns out I have "working out" pride...so humbling.

Just for today, I am humbled by the exercise routine of others.

I believe that exercise is over-rated. who cares how you look and feel. we only live one life and I dont wish to waste mine by having the best body in the world. But whatever keeps others happy, they can do it then. Thats just my oppion.(spelled wrong)
