A friend started a blog describing his training as a professional athlete:

This friend and I had discussed starting blogs last summer. 
We would both chronicle our self improvement regimens.
Of course, he is well on his way and I have not even begun. 
He is well on his way with the improvements AND the blog.
I am still in this phase: Every morning I wake up and am
shocked and dismayed to find that I am the same person
as the day before.  This person, the friend, doesn't waste
his time with this magical thinking. 
He just does.

Hmmmmmm.
