Today was a gym day. I love gym days- love getting my grunt on.
I am amazed by the brilliance of Nike's advertising genius. That simple catchphrase sparks the sales of millions of (in my opinion) spendy pairs of shoes, inspires kids and adults alike, and is really the only method I need to get stuff done.
"Just Do It"
OK. I will. I am. I'm putting my feet on the floor at 4:44AM (the significance of THAT time will have to be addressed at a later date) and alternately hitting the track and gym six days a week. Just doing it. It has become a habit and more- it has become something I actually LIKE to do.
Why?
The RESULTS. I FEEL better. My clothes fit better. Hell, my clothes from six years ago fit. And while I have to admit that no amount of exercise or diet in the universe is going to make me handsome, I think I look better too. Yes, that's the reason you don't see my picture on this website.
So thank you Nike for articulating my adopted mantra. Now how about making some less expensive shoes? I like your stuff- have even owned a few pair in the past, but I have to say that the last time I went in for some running shoes, the sticker-shock had me beatin' feet back to Costco- where I found a pair of Adidas for $24.99. They seem to be pretty good shoes. But hey, if somebody at Nike would let me try out something like what is pictured above (size 13) I'd be totally jazzed.

Waiting for the explanation of the 4:44 significance.
The short answer is, "I do everything in threes." At some point I shovel a little deeper into that topic. For now it will have to remain on the shelf.
