Today's weight: 210 Not sure why I keep going the opposite direction, I need to be diligent about what I am eating.
The first week of 2011 has not started off all that great, not only am I dealing with an injury, but I lost a friend unexpectedly on Thursday. This week taught me some valuable lessons...this is what I learned this week...
Our bodies are probably the most technologically and complicated pieces of machinery on earth. With that being said, they are susceptible to breakdowns now and again and sometimes for no clear reason even though we maintain and properly lubricate them. We have to accept that and let them heal...even if we don't like it.
Our time on this earth is limited and life can end at any moment, most of the time, without notice. Cherish the time you have with people and tell them that you love them, don't assume they know it.
I leave you with this quote from a dear friend...

Nice work for the last week considering your injury.
Sorry about the loss of your friend. You are right-life is short and precious, tell those who matter how much you care. So with that, love you! And Tina too.
The weight, well, don't know what to tell you there. That is the struggle we are having here as well.
Sorry for your loss Bob.
@V Funny to think that a little podcast out of your basement in Buffalo was the catalyst for all of of us to actually meet, go on a cruise, get y'all to come out to California for a race and create life long friendships. If you ever question whether Crown Cast was worth it or not...the answer is YES!
@Glenn - Thank you. Glad to see you are getting back to training. Is LA still a go for you?
yeah, Buffalo. Riiight. But worth it, absolutely worth it.
