I feel the need...

The need for speed! YO! Speed night, and I feel awesome. I will tell you, I have been down in the dumper all day. Just blue, down, dumpy, etc. But after I finished in the gym I was almost euphoric. That was the best I felt all day. I was so excited over my gains tonight I was practically flitting around the place. I know they think I am nuts...oh well who cares? Here goes!

Man, I did not want to work out tonight, Commuted to San Leandro for a meeting, over two hours for 85 miles, same on the way back, could never do that daily; I burned my self out big time last week, oh well, I ain't gonna quit, so I guess I will man-up and work thru it.
