Beating Coding Fatigue

Well, it finally happened.  My initial push into coding got me through around 34 days.  My enthusiasm combined with free time in the summer sustained a pretty impressive push of over a month.  This, however, is where things get difficult.  I have learned most of the easy syntax.  I have said "Hello World" and mastered much of the easy to learn stuff.  Now, I am sitting about halfway through the Rails tutorial on TreeHouse and about 1/3 of the way through Shaw's Ruby the Hard Way book.  Life is going to get a great deal more difficult, but I am determined to push through and keep working hard!

One of the major issues I have always come to in my life is what happens when you lose the initial push of momentum?  This blog entry represents my bold intention to work through a few hours of coding tonight and stay the course even though work made it impossible to code on Wednesday and Thursday.  I am rusty and tired, but tonight I code!

Thanks for reading and if you have any tips for beating fatigue please holler at me!
