Stop Working So Hard

I didn’t realize how much more we train than other world class athletes. After a stint in Florida and now back in Atlanta for a week or so, I’ve gotten a chance to look at how the best in the business work. In the last 30 days I’ve been on the track with U.S. Champions, Olympic champions, World Champions, Record holders, you name it…I gotta admit, I’m not impressed. Jog a lap; stretch a little bit, couple of high knees and 4 minutes later BAM! They’re ready! unlike our 53 minute “warm-up.” I’m really starting to believe that the harder you work the better you will become is a big load of crap. These dudes are just better than everybody else. Luckily for me, the amount of work I’ve put in over the last 12 months has me right there with them in every run. That feels good. So who’s to say that I shouldn’t work as hard as I do? I, for one, wouldn’t dare slack off. I get better every day. I get to say I’m a world class athlete. I get paid to run fast. Sometimes a brother got to do what a brother got to do to get paid. Work hard…don’t work hard…Whatever…

Im Sorta Late...

I've got my own blog now, I'm really only two years late. Time to let y'all peer into the phantasmagoric world of my mind and life of running track and making music. As of today i did very little of either so this post ends here...
