from the 2010 run
Don't forget about the 2012 Run For The Children TOMORROW!!!!! The box will be CLOSED tomorrow for the race. Good luck to all our runners.
The World Is Brutal and You Must Be Brave
The world is brutal, and you must be brave.
I wish I could tell you otherwise. I wish I could fill your days with new barbells and kettlebells and beautiful, inspiring PRs. I wish I could tell you that the path to success is sunny and bright and sunshine will come out of your ass.
But that's not going to happen. And stop listening to the people who feed you that bullshit. The world is a much darker place. There are no f'***ing unicorns. Just horses with pointy shit glued on their noses. And yeah, the world can be a cold place. And vicious. And sometimes seemingly devoid of any real meaning. You can lose yourself in the world, searching for soul.
But don't.
There is soul and you know how to look for it. You must look for it. You must find it. Just because the world is brutal doesn't mean that you get to hide yourself off from it and live the life of the complainer, the person who never gets a break, the suckass whiner with the perpetually doomed viewpoint, certain that life's suckerpunch is always headed for them. Don't search for pity. Don't settle for consolation. Fight for victory.

39 Ways to Not be LIke Everyone Else
Jason Ferruggia - Renegade Strength and Conditioning
The problem with being like everyone else is taht everyone else sucks.
My advice is not to do it...
How do you start your day each morning?
Do you angrily smash the alarm clock and roll out of bed exhausted, dreading another day doing what you hate?
Or do you spring up fresh and well rested because you went to sleep before 11pm like you know you should, and get excited to tackle another day doing what you love?
After hitting the bathroom do you stagger into the kitchen and get a pot of coffee brewing as fast as humanly possible?
Is that what it takes for you to wake up in the morning and actually feel alive?
If you eat, sleep and train properly the last thing you should ever need is caffeine to wake up.
What about your workout regimen?
Do you focus on big compound lifts, advanced bodyweight exercises, strongman training and avoid machines and isolation movements like the plague?
Do you keep a detailed log book and track your progress week after week, year after year?
Do you stick with a program for longer than a week? It takes at least four to even have a clue what's going on and what's working.
When it comes time for cardio do you hop on the elliptical or stair climber or do you go find a hill and sprint up it until your heart beat is visible through your hooded sweatshirt?
There's always an easy way out. You can alwaysl ive a life of mediocrity and unhappiness and do what everyone else does. Or you can choose to not be like everyone else. You can choose the road less traveled.
How do you do that?
Here are 39 ways that would be a good start:
