The Finish Line

Innocent air searing

Stretching the limits of possibility

Pressing on


Mind reeling in disbelief

Spirit reveling in the moment

Body tossed amongst the waves


Metabolic waste, blacking out

Can’t go, will go, keep going

Fight, fight, fight to the end

  2. Liked the mind goo w/sporty twist. Best part about hard workouts is the game played in the mind - wanting to quit quit quit, then pressing onward to victory. I've learned that the same dialogue occurs throughout other life challenges; when I apply the lessons I've learned from working out to say, work and personal conflicts, I know that the desire to quit and give up will succumb to my will for victory which has been proven, on a concrete level numerous time with hard workouts.

  3. I appreciate your comments man. The only reason I'm writing this is that I never hear anyone really talk about what goes on inside their heads when working really hard at something, exercise, or otherwise. It's heartening to know that you get it!
