New day - Moving On

Today is the first blog of a new day. This is the first blog that I have written independent of my short-lived contract with NakedCity Wichita. I am sad about the way that things ended with them. I really felt like I was holding up my end, and I hope that I was providing consistently quality content. But, they are moving in another direction. And I recognize that I am no longer a 'young' dude, I was very rarely, if ever, 'hip', and I'm not sure that it would fit anyway.

Onward and upward.

I have a new writing project that I can't wait to tell you all about. But... it's going to be a while. Right now we're in the early planning phase and with stuff like this you just never know where it will go... but I feel really good about it, and I have a couple of great people that I'm working with... so I can't wait.

Alright. Enough of that tease, and enough of me complaining. Let's get back to the regular discussion.

This morning I awoke at the old regular time - around 5:25. It was REALLY hard to get going this morning, but I did it. The alarm only went off once (YAY for my wife and son, who hopefully weren't awakened by my inability to wake up). Then I sat on the couch until I was sure that I was going to fall asleep there... and I got up and went to the gym. How this worked, I do not know. But somehow, it all worked out for the best. I made it to the gym. I was a little bit late for the 6 am class that I usually attend, so I just spent my time on the elliptical. I did 1.9 miles in just under 25 minutes, and watched a bit of a new Battlestar Galactica episode (first of Season 4.5).

Just an update for any new readers. I am a Geek. A huge geek. I know it. But I LOVE this show. It's just SO good. Didn't check my weight again today, but feeling better about getting up in the morning. Overall, just feeling better. Like it's something that I'm going to be able to do again.

And, once I get going with the marathon training... well, I'm sure that there won't be any way to stop me. HA.

So - today is a new day. Another in the short line of days since I quit smoking. And the first in a new way, that I hope to be able share soon.

Alright. Got a LOT of work to do, prepping for a meeting tomorrow morning at 9. Have a good night and Friday all!
