be here now

The Zone. It's the place where your second wind carries you, where you're running on nothing but momentum and adrenaline. "Why bother stopping now?" you hear yourself say. "Might as well keep going." It's a place where obsessive tendencies can all too easily thrive.

I spent an hour and a half at the gym this morning, burned 500 calories, and realized as I left that I was shivering and my skin was clammy. That's not supposed to happen.

I fear I've lost my sense of my own limitations.

Maybe that's a good thing.
