I've no idea why, but even when I plan on going to bed early, I don't seem to be able to - I finished my workout around 10:00p, and planned on going to bed around 11-11:30. what was I doing at 12:30a? Watching Letterman, and shutting down my computer. At least I haven't had too bad of an urge to go out - still, I need to improve my sleep habits if I ever want to make any real progress in any part of my life.
Workout went fairly well last night, although I apparently lost some strength somewhere, because I struggled to do the same things I did last week. I'm sure part of it was that I ate poorly yesterday. (Well, not poorly, just not enough) Maybe my issue was more of a lack of energy/fuel, than actually having gotten weaker. I'm going to lift again tonight, and hopefully, I'll be able to go running afterwards. If not, that's alright, I'll just go tomorrow night. I think I'll just stick with 1-mile runs this week & next, then throw in a 2-miler next week. By the last week of March/first week of April, I hope to be running 2-milers consistently, and throwing in a couple of 3-mile runs. I really think I can do this, (and possibly rather well) if I focus on it!
I'm also going to try to give myself time for at least a couple songs a night for practice, more if I can swing it. I only worked on the first two songs of the setlist last night, because I really needed to slow down & develop the second song. I actually had to get my metronome out to keep a slow rythm for me, and just practiced the particular section with which I was having trouble. I've got the rythm down now, but am not quite up to tempo yet, so I'll have to keep working at it. The first two songs are both giving me some trouble, but I'm making steady progress. J1 seems pleased with my abilities, and tells me that I'm being too hard on myself, that I'm better than I think I am. I hope so, because I still feel like I suck!
By the way, I've recently started reading "Garfield Minus Garfield", which you likely won't "get" unless you read the blurb at the top of the screen, here quoted:
Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.
When I first found this, someone had posted a strip on a forum, without the explanation. I was completely at a loss as to why it was supposed to be funny. After having read the explanation on the site, it all made sense, and now I love it! Go ahead, do a search for it & let me know what you think!
