My Nemesis

Ah, once again I come face to face with my oldest friend and oldest enemy. My almighty nemesis. Exercise.

Being a little child I didn't know what "exercise" was. I was simply happy to run around because it was fun. Exercise had become one of my closest friends and allies. Then came sports, which was also fun, and became competitive. Exercise became even closer to me. After high school though.......... Being absent from physical fitness in any real form, and for such a long time, I had turned my friend Exercise against me. It hated me for betraying it, for stop paying attention to her, for forgetting all the great times we had together. Oh sure I've ran into my nemesis from time to time, but my nemesis would always win, would always dominate me and make me run away. Kind of like the little white rabbit in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", I always think of them saying "RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!!!". I simply love it.

Now though, it is time for me to take a stand and win. I have always thought of people and situations they are place in, are they the type who cower and fear, do they simply TRY and fail and give up hope, or are they the kind who rise up to the challenge and simply DO, and succeed? I always thought myself to be the kind who rise up and meet the challenge, and I will be. I will conquer my nemesis this time. I will remind her that I haven't forgotten the old times, and we shall be friends and allies once again. We will be a stronger team than ever before. We will become one. We will be. We will do. We. Will. Win.

P.S. We crossed paths tonight nemesis. I've risen up to the fight. Let's dance.
