on three on three

For whatever reason I let it all slip away.  I had focus, determination, and most of all, confidence.  I can point to my injury and blame all of my indecision, inadequacies, and complete lack of production on it.  But, I shouldn’t and I won’t.   Sure, my injury was part of my problems, but my head and my heart were frequently in the wrong places.  My injury didn’t keep my from getting in the gym everyday to lift.  My injury didn’t keep me from challenging myself more in school.  My injury didn’t keep from finding more about myself.  I did.  I had time on my hands and all I did was “hope” for the best.  Too bad hope only took me so far.  I wish I could say that I worked my way out of the funk, but I got lucky.  I got healthy.

Fast forward to October 2009, life is changing.  (Anyone catch the season finale of Entourage, crazy!)  Now I’m married; how weird does that sound?  I’m looking at real 9-5 jobs at real companies; My friend Dave would argue that I’m not cut out for those.  My favorite things in the apartment are my television, washer/dryer, and my kitchen-aid mixer; which one of these doesn’t belong, what ever happened to Madden on the Xbox?  It’s all really insane.  The good thing is I’m back to running, and that has made all the difference.

With that, I’m back and here is last week’s training.
