Food is Fuel

It's a weird thing, to motivate your muscles with your mind.
It's a lot like that scene in that Tarantino classic 'Kill Bill': Uma Thurman, just out of her coma, drags herself (using only her arms) through a basement-level parking lot, and hauls herself into a truck to audibly concentrate on re-animating her body, simply by saying aloud to her toe "wiggle your big toe"... despite having been bed-ridden for years, and this being the first time she's moved.  Her arms were fine, but her legs - well, it takes thirteen hours to get herself fully functional again.

Running at 6am without breakfast is literally like throwing my body into a pickup truck and telling my mind to start the car so I can go avenge my honor.

The lesson from this morning is: 
Uma should have stopped by the hospital cafeteria to grab a snack before trying to attempt feats of glory.
