Little Miss Runner Pants

when the movie 300 came out, everyone was up in arms about the actor's physique. how'd they get so fit? what'd they do? how long did they do it? on and on.. you know the drill.

well eventually it came out, and if you've done any looking into it, you already know, but for those of you who don't.. allow me to introduce you to....

GYM JONES.

gym jones is a private gym who's ..."objective is genuine fitness, not the appearance of fitness...".

this is a group of people who take what they do seriously.. with no excuses, no compromise, and no apologies. and their site is kick ass.

for anyone that needs a slap in the face. a motivation boost... a wake-up call, if you will... this site is it.

gym jones is like crossfit on drugs. for those of you that still don't know what that is, just trust me on this. but for those of you that do.... well.... you'll see!

i've read, and continue to read up on their philosophy, their attitude, and their reasons why almost every week, but what got my attention, not all that long ago was the twitch.

for those of you that have the time, i urge you to check it out. watch the videos, read their knowledge, soak it in.. your workouts will thank you.

but for those of you that don't, i just want to share a little something that got my butt moving today. enjoy!

Live the lifestyle instead of paying lip service to the lifestyle. Live with commitment. With emotional content. Live whatever life you choose honestly. Give up this renaissance man, dilettante bullshit of doing a lot of different things (and none of them very well by real standards). Get to the guts of one thing; accept, without casuistry, the responsibility of making a choice. When you live honestly, you can not separate your mind from your body, or your thoughts from your actions.

Tell the truth. First, to yourself. Say it until it hurts. Learn the reality of your own selfishness. Quit living for other people at the expense of your own self, you're not really alive. You live in the land of denial - and they say the view is pretty a long as you remain asleep.

Well it's time to WAKE THE FUCK UP!

So do it. Wake up. When you drink the coffee tomorrow, take it black and notice it. Feel the caffeine surge through you. ...finish it, and walk away, forward. Only acts undertaken with commitment have meaning. Only your best effort matters. Life is a Meritocracy, with death as the auditor. Inconsistency, incompetence and lies are all cut short by that final word. Death will change you if you can't change yourself.
