Went for my run this morning. 40 minutes easy. Heart rate maintained pretty much where I wanted it. A little higher at the end but I'm not going to stress about it anymore.

I like running in the morning. Or I should say I like after I run in morning. Meaning it's feels good to start the day with exercise and to know that whatever comes up in the day I got my workout in. However, i'm not much of a morning person so it can be hard, especially on colder days.

Speaking of cold. It's been like 65-70's most of the month, then bam serious drop in the weather towards the end of last week with high winds, rain, and snow yesterday. Riding outside keeps getting pushed indoors and I'm so over riding the trainer .

Anyway got to get a ride in tomorrow.

Work: right when i thought I'd caught up on the current project, slam
more stuff piled on. Was hoping to catch up so I can focus more on
trifuel, but looks like full time for the rest of the month at least. I
did get a new sponsor for the site, Endless Pools,
so that's awesome. Would like to sign on 1 or 2 more and I'll be closer
to going majority-time trifuel work, minority-time job (to help pay the
bills).

How does one define work? vs job? I've been giving a lot of thought to that over the past year. I guess I was raised thinking you have to get a job and work to earn a living and that meant working for someone else for the most part. I never liked that idea, though went along with it because it seemed the norm. Sometimes I feel guilty or lazy when I think about maybe doing trifuel full-time (along with other endurance projects and design work/ basically not working for someone else). And I think this is because of how I viewed work growing up - office, employer, 9-5 (or 8-7 . So when I think of doing trifuel, it is work - my work - but not a job, because I enjoy it. Same with some of the design projects I work on. It's fun, I guess that's the issue, re-training myself to believe that work can be fun and that it should be fun, and not feel guilty for enjoying it or just wanting to do what you enjoy. And not feel lazy or guilty because I don't work 8-5, but still put in 50+ hours a week, just spread throughout the day and week. I tend to work better and more creatively in the evening, like now - though I wouldn't consider this creative, just ramblins - the ramblin boy in the 35 year-old body.

Anyway my point through this post was to define work/job…

Work is now what I do, my purpose, what I enjoy or find rewarding. And a Job is that stuff I have to do, but don't enjoy, in order to pay the bills and make ends meet.

My objective is to quit my Job and start Working for a Living!
