My friends think I’m crazy.
June 9, 2007I woke up today thinking I’m gonna kick myself in the ass. It’s leg day and I look forward to the challenge. 2pm and I’m at the track. It’s 95% with the sun blazing and the humidity is over 70%. Am I crazy? Crazy enough to do what it takes to get where I want to be. Plyometrics are killing my calves and thighs and I haven’t even gotten to my sprint workout. My body is covered in sweat and I’m glad I brought a 2nd change of clothes. Time to change my sneakers to my spikes. Full speed!!! No one can stop me. How do I keep from quitting? I think about how I hate the feeling of loose clothes on me. I want respect. I want my family to be more proud of me as their son, brother, and uncle. I want my future wife to admire my dedication and hard work. I want my future kids to look up to me as their hero. It’s over and it’s time to hit the gym.
I’m looking at the squat rack and I’m determined to get stronger. 275lbs later and I felt victorious. You see I haven’t squatted this much since my senior year back in 1996. I’m not satisfied. I want more and it will come with time. This tells me I CAN do it as long as I put my mind to it. No one can stop me from unleashing my inner beast. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.
