A friend can really inspire you. My friend Tyler called me yesterday and truly inspired me. He was in the middle of a tough run really pushing himself ascending a steep grade and enduring some suffering in the cause of great benefit. It was cool and inspiring.

Yesterday, after my call with Tyler, where he took some souls (in a good way), I allowed my alter ego, Victor, to surface and take over my sprinting session . Six 105 meter sprints through deep sand on a beautiful beach barefoot with the risk of random stones and hidden driftwood in the sand increasing the fun.
Victor gave 100%; after each sprint I was gasping for air on my back, heart pounding, legs toasted, until I recovered. I was in the moment enjoying the challenge and the effort and the pain of each repetition with a sense of dignity and purpose. I was also the middle Day 3 of my monthly 3-day fast. Was it good for my body? Not sure. Was it good for my spirit? Absolutely!
When I came home that afternoon I broke my fast with a fantastic meal and then proceeded to knock out a stubborn task that has been lingering for years! Good Stuff.

You should have done 12 400m sprints, Tyler.
