You know, this reminds me of my gym rat days. I'm warming up on the treadmill one day which looked down on the fee weight area. I see this guy - I'd seen him a dozen times before - working out. A dude in a wheel chair. Never gave him a second notice because he didn't want anyone to and worked d@mn hard at it too. Anyway, I was thinking to myself I didn't really want to be there. I was tired from a long day. I had a lot of stuff to do. Then I look down, and just happen to catch this dude flippin' himself outta his chair and onto the bench. Then grabbin' a pair of big f'ing dumbells and start doing presses. F'ing hell I say - if anyone has an excuse to not work out today its this guy. And he's totally kickin' my @ss.
It struck me then as it did when Greg said what he did - just showing up and putting forth the effort is a helluva thing sometimes.
