To Fit My Life into an Elipse

Yesterday was a good day. I had a nice conversation with a long lost friend. That's been my quest this summer... to find those people in my life that I've let go for no good reason. Some people are acquaintances and others are loved ones drifted apart. I look at my circle of friends and find it lacking locally. I am a bit shy lately and need to find some fun people in the area. Hmmmm.

So, yesterday, I went to the gym in the first time in a over a month. Yes, it was painful but I was mindful to take it easy. I actually can't stand the gym. I mean, it's so artificial. The machines, the clanking and stale air do nothing to make me mentally feel better. However, I can get a great workout in about 90 minutes.

The one thing that amuses me when I am there is how time seems to distort on the eliptical trainer. Yes, yes, time slows as you go faster... the theory of relativity and all that jazz. I am talking about how the last 10 minutes on the trainer was at least twice as long as the first 20 minutes. I don't mean this was torturous or unwanted. I am actually amazed at how many things I got to ponder in that final 10 minutes. Now, I just need to fit more of my life into that eliptical trainer.... I am sure I could find solutions to all sorts of things.

Of course, it could have just been oxygen deprivation.
