Lest We Forget

The following is from athlete and writer Dave Draper. Dave is one of those rare former champion athletes who can convey so well all things relating and pertaining to training and succeeding.
What you are about to read should be a "given" for those of us who train for reasons more than just keeping fit, looking good, and holding back the aging process. Consider how you match up with what you are about to read.


"Our workouts--our training sessions--are not optional.
They are as necessary as eating, sleeping, breathing, working and loving. Daily living must include exercise and eating right if we expect to live fully.
They are fundamental and essential.
The car, the TV, the sharp dress, the pool, the boat, the cruise, the jewels, the real estate, the amenities, accessories, and extras, come later, way later."


I recall over the decades former serious athletes who professed an undying love for their sport drifting away from it because they allowed themselves to be carried away by money and possessions. More than a few have expressed regrets to me later for allowing this to happen.
Don't let this happen to you.
