An inspiring story
11 Feb 2012
I've had to have a week off exercise becos I twisted my ankle at the start of the set up for the big wedding we did last week, and by the time I finally got to bed, 14 hrs later, it wasn't looking pretty.
So after a number of days doing nothing, I'm picking it up again, and am intensely frustrated to have slipped backwards in the interim. Every metre I manage to run is hard earned. My breathing capacity has been so limited for so long, that the efforts over the last couple of years to improve it, are tediously slow. But I am making forward progress, I just don't appreciate the two steps backwards that I've taken this week, and the need to make up that ground again.
So came home to breakfast and the papers feeling a bit grumpy and sorry for myself, niether of which are admirable traits.
I have however just read this delightful post, written by a pastry chef at the top of his game, who's made the decision to leave Le Bernadin and explore writting options.
Evocative and beautifully written - its helped me get over myself and move on to other things...
