So I'm now five months into this and I finally hit a significant milestone: this was the first day that I noticed a difference in my efforts with Paul. I wasn't floundering & confused. I was actually focused and working!
It feels totally weird to have Paul who is sporting a new IceMan haircut like Steve McQueen's in The Great Escape, talking about "plates" and I know what those are. They are not actually called wheels even though they look exactly like wheels and nothing like plates, at least not the plates at my house.
So anyway, after repeatedly shoving the Pink Prowler that Paul kindly continued to enhance by adding two wheels of weight after each run, I bent over panting against the table legs waiting for the sickening sucking sensation to leave my legs.
Paul: You have a new PR!
Brain: Prowler Run?
Stomach: Pork Rinds!
Paul : Personal Record! You have pushed over 2 1/2 times your weight!
Me:
Me:
Me:
So there it is: a sense of accomplishment not based solely on the fact that I survived intact.
