Football is back. The recent spate of Madden videos has reignited my interest in football. I typically don't tune into season openers. I normally get into the groove a few games in the season, but thanks to Madden, I was fully prepared for tonight's game. I predicted that the Seahawks would win despite the Superbowl champions losing in the season opener for the last 8 years. I was right. The Seahawks dismantled the Packer's defense. They're clearly the team to beat this year. Their defense is just too strong.
I skipped out on my run partly because of the game, and because I didn't want to aggravate my shin splits further. I went for a fifteen-minute jog during halftime, just to stay spry. In the past, I've spread out my weight training through the week, but now that I've concentrated everything into Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, my body has to adjust, and like any adjustment period, it's quite difficult and a little painful. Hopefully, after this week, my body will get used to it like it did when I started running again.
My day was dedicated to heaping another 2k words on the next chapter of my side story. I'm four words shy of 5k. I've reached the length that I've wanted but there's still a lot of development left in the scenes. I've got one...two...three major scenes left, each probably requiring at least 500 to 1000 words each. Sometimes, I wonder why I'm working on this when nobody has acknowledged my effort. That's a lie. My effort's been acknowledged, just not in a satisfactory and visible way.
Although I've become more consistent in my content production, I really gotta start working on these much earlier in the day. It's usually hard for me to fall asleep, but I'm feeling a bit drowsy at the moment. This fogs up the mind and I can't work at peak efficiency. If I can slide my schedule a bit, I think I can really start building on my potential. The last three days have been great in terms of acquiring more confidence. It's not an issue of ability, but mental toughness. I gotta stick with it until its embedded in my routine.
