« Woodinville Is Wine Country | Main | One More Trip 'Round The Sun » January 3, 2005My Ass Is Out Of ShapeOne of the big themes we give to people considering UW is that success in business school is all about tradeoffs. You can't have it all. If you really want something - career success, quality family time, washboard abs, an ability to sling Java with the Bill Joys of the world - it's going to require an investment of time, and, given that time is fixed at 24 hours a day, time for one thing will necessarily come out of time for another. This is a long-winded way of saying that I'm deeply out of shape. The first casualty of the b-school experience is not sleep. Nor is it your social life. Instead, the first casualty is exercise. With rare exception, business school students cut the gym once the work starts piling. By the time winter quarter rolls around, well, there's a roll around most student waistlines. In keeping with both a New Year's commitment and a general desire to get back to my fighting weight, I went out running tonight. Hoo-boy. I did a mile, but I did it slowly. Real slowly. My goal is to do the St. Patrick's Day Dash in March, the Olympia Half Marathon in May, and the Seattle Marathon in November. At my current rate, the St. Patrick's Day event should be renamed. I'm not dashing anywhere. Posted by Gavin Shearer at January 3, 2005 6:06 PM. Posted to Fitness. CommentsPost a commentThanks for signing in, . Now you can comment.
