Morning Training Explodes Into thedorothyproject

What a difference a few days make.

This week is a recovery week, I still train but not at the intensity or duration, I would have in the weeks prior.

“Thou Shall Not Overtrain”

This morning as I was in the middle of my main set (part of a swimming workout in the pool, for you non-swimmers) I looked up at the clock and it was 5:35 am. As I pushed off the wall for the next interval I thought, “how lucky am I!” I’m in this big pool all by myself, doing what only a certain group of folks get to do or are willing to do. Although it was hard, I rolled out of bed around 3:55am and was in the pool by 5am.
On the way to the pool I had a moment of clarity. Because of this sport/ training and getting up so early, my brain was working in a way that allowed a breakthrough in the manner in ahich I was thinking about thedorothyproject.
“simple, non-linear narrative, sports contests, don’t spoon feed it, make’em work as hard as the characters are”
That’s it. Now the filming, setting, and objects have a more specific role and possible resolution. (no studio required necessarily)

Art and Training:
The 1st attempt to collide them took place yesterday morning as I filmed myself doing my easy 5 miler on the treadmill. I don’t know if there is any real usable footage there , but it is a step in a new direction.

That's right babe, always remember how blessed we are. For every step we take back, we truly take two steps forward.
