Set the alarm for 3:00; got up at 4:00. I must have been tired. Did 30 minutes on the eliptical, then a few 45-second planks and pushups to kick my upper body strength training back in gear. One of the great benefits of those planks is the good stretching it gives my back. I remember how the drill instructors, in the Army, used to get on the platform and lead us in our morning exercises. We would be dying in the "leaning rest" or plank position, and they seemed to be able to hold the position forever while we suffered. They weren't really in that much better shape than us, but they had learned the mind over matter techniques, and watching us suffer added fuel to their ability to endure. As time went on, I began to make them squirm as I matched them in their own game. The human body is much more capable than most of us give credit. We usually talk ourselves out of our ability to excel.

Just wanted to isolate myself for a little while last night. DW wasn't in the best of spirits, and it seemed like getting out of her space was a good idea at the time. She had an echo cardiogram (or something like that) yesterday. They told her they would forward the results to the doctor, but they did not hear any fluid in the lungs. I experimented with acrylics last night and turned another pen. What do you think?
