The track! Its a love affair I've had for years that went astray for a few years. I have started to hit the track again 3 times a week or more if my schedule permits and I cannot tell you how it makes me feel. If I am having a rough day, or feeling anything other than relaxed after I put my track shoes on, kneel down and touch the track everything goes away. Most people do not understand that feeling - only my dear client and best friend Chris understands what that feels like......If I miss a lift at the gym, or don't hit a workout hard enough or aren't satisfied with my performance I know that if I go to the track I will crush it and I will feel better. It is in my blood, and it's something I can do that most people cannot or dont want to do.
