treading and cycling

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.07.29

At the gym today, I upped my efforts on the treadmill to:

5 min walking @ 5 MPH

3 min jogging @ 7 MPH

2 min walking @ 5 MPH

3 min jogging @ 7 MPH

2 min walking @ 5 MPH

How far did I run? No, no, I mean... I feel kinda like I did that time that Charlie and I cycled to St. Kitts. But I didn't die of an asthma attack. Despite the fact that that 15 minutes on the treadmill were bookended by 10 minutes on the rowing machine, each way. I felt almost like a normal person.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
