Friday nights and Saturdays are when my leg workout from the past Wednesday and all the workouts of the week catch up to me and my body, or really my brain, just stops working. I had to take a nap today.
Earlier in the day, I had a workout with Michal because he had an appointment during the week. Then he and Charna and I went to breakfast. He has the most amazing life stories. It’s so interesting talking with someone who’s been such a massively successful athlete despite facing incredible adversity. He told me some stories today that nearly had me in tears and then a story about something that happened to him while he was a professional soccer player that made me so angry I almost wanted him to stop talking about it. We all know there are some serious jerks in this world, but man, sometimes people can be really really bad. After hearing about what he’s overcome I realize that I can do so much better with the resources and opportunities I have.
Lately he’s been giving me a hard time telling me my workout clothes are all too small. Today he said, “Am I going to have to go shopping for you? Your legs are way too big for those shorts!” So I just got back from buying a bunch of new shorts and shirts, all a size larger. Trying them on at first they looked big, but then I realized they were actually the right size. It’s so hard to notice these things. I feel like a kid who’s growing and doesn’t notice that he’s wearing high waters.
I was at the Sports Authority in Crossroads Mall and after went to QFC and then to Starbucks. I thought to myself that this mall is a lot like University Village and they should upgrage it accordingly. The place was packed, I could barely find a spot by the Starbucks. There was a full diversity of people present. A bluegrass (at least I think it was bluegrass, it was country twangy) band was playing and lots of people were there for the show. The music was so fun I almost sat down for a while.
