- In all my running trials, I’ve come to realize that I reeeally dislike things that are a constant challenge: I keep expecting to hit a point when it isn’t so difficult for me to run this route, distance and time, when I’ll be conditioned enough that it’s actually easy to do and all I need to do is maintain that level of fitness. That day has not yet arrived -– in fact, I'm starting to think that may not be how it works and that it may never arrive. If that’s the case, I’m not sure how much longer I can keep willing myself through the torture. That being said, I realized that it extends into other (most) areas of my life... if I run into a tedious problem in work, something that seems to be unnecessary or to require an unnecessary expenditure of energy, I naturally look for the quicker, more efficient way to do it and adopt that approach. I guess that could be considered “the path of least resistance”. In some ways, that’s a good thing, because it forces me to look for better ways to do things, which (technically) makes for a generally productive, efficient and organized person (?). In other ways, always looking for the easier route has a number of very visible pitfalls. Think about it. How can some things be so good and yet so bad? :)
All very ponderous stuff... :D
