Pushing the Plates

I will get to my end of season recap...really. It's been busy, what can I say? The good news is that I've started pushing the plates, or lifting, or strenght training, or whatever term you want to use. I started out with 8th grade girl's volleyball level weights, but I've been consistently lifting every other day, so now I'm up to freshmen, girl's competitive cheer level weights. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "That dude must kick a**!" and you're not wrong, because I'll be moving up to sophomore girl's track weights here pretty darn soon.
One of the things I like about this time of year is that I'm actually excited about lifting weights. In fact, I'm lifting tomorrow morning before work, and by golly, I'm lookin' forward to it! It's not that I'm working to the point where my body-building, brick-house-like friend Ryan is getting nervous that I will cast a shadow on him. No, I'm still very much like the stick figure used for illustrating Diary of a Wimpy Kid, where he's more like the He-Man action figure. But hey, I'm ok with that. I'm not looking to get huge, but if I happen to bulk up a little along the way and people see Ryan and I together and get confused about who is who, well, then it will be evident that someone has been experimenting with hallucinogens. I'm just sayin'.

Anyway, I still think about Ironman Louisville every day. In fact, we carved pumpkins for Halloween tonight. I carved the M-dot into the side of mine. Obsess much? Yeah. Guilty as charged.

The road continues.

Peace,
~Sam
