Today I set the goal for 25 miles. I expected the first three miles to be difficult, but expected to be securely "in the zone" by mile 6. Mile 6 never came. I struggled through each and every mile. I have to say there was nothing enjoyable about the ride. I usually have a great sense of euphoria after such an accomplishment, but that was not the case today. I pretty much had the "I am glad it is over" kind of feeling. I am hoping this will change. I did make it to the 25 mile mark, but it took about 10 minutes longer than yesterday. My legs felt weak throughout the ride and I just felt palin worn out. I know I may be pushing it, but a I have this goal in mind and I am bound and determined to meet it. I just kept reminding myself of the words I told a friend last night "Just push through it..."
Unfortunately, I picked a bomb of a movie. This movie did not make this ride any easier, in fact it added to the torture. Directed by David Ray, this Canadian movie was a cheap rip off of "The Butterfly Effect". This movie was based on a young man's (Art) desperate attempt to save his girlfriend (Cody) after life on the streets catches up with her and she ends up in a coma. Art attempts this by traveling back in time on a time travel recliner to change the course of events. I should have known this movie was going to suck when Art travels back to Cody's gym class to give her a tampon to prevent an embarrassing gym class moment. The movie did not get better, only cheesier. It was obviously a cheap rip off of "The Butterfly Effect", which was released a year prior. It even had a very similiar resolution at the end.
The acting was poor overall. However, the lead male, Jay Baruchel did go on to appear in several bigger flicks (Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder, and She's not that into you).
I would grade this movie a D. It was not the worst movie I have ever seen, but it was definately in the bottom 25. I would not waste my time on this movie.
