awwww shit. 2009. happy new years yall. dont get me wrong, im not exactly the new years celebrating kinda type with 2009 glasses on, goofy hat and noisemakers, but i can understand ushering in a new year because its a larger than normal symbol of new opportunity. larger than normal because everyday should be a new opportunity, but the dailies are just that.. daily. they lack a little “POW, SUCKAS!” while the new year allows for that hit we all need.
so what, one fool might ask of themselves.. what the hell should i do? im not saying go foolish and run a marathon (even though it might be hella fools nature to sign up anyway), but do something special. its like that burrito that holds a special place in your heart. its there because its an opportunity that doesnt come around often, but when it does, youre willing to knock a punkass over for it and take their burrito at the same time.
all im sayin is be the burrito. be special. be that new opportunity because this shit doesnt come around often, so youve got to be focused and in the moment every single chance you get. that goes for everything.. especially training.
of course, for hella fools!!!, there is no other way to analogize training than to compare it to a burrito.
its a little rough at the ends. anticipation always starts strong, mouth watering. you seize opportunity with both hands, eagerness overflowing. you reach the middle of the burrito with the fire, but youre a little slower, a little cautious because you started so quickly in the beginning. everyone slows down in the middle. fear of overeating can take over, but you know from previous bouts with “training”, youve just got to feel your way around and be agile enough to either keep going or put the burrito down… but just for a second. youre in it for the longhaul, so near the end you cowboy the fuck up and keep going. you hit a little rough patch because you picked up speed again after the middle, and sometimes you wanna almost slow down again just to savor the flavor, and take stock because you know itll end soon. you know this burrito wont come around often so you make the burrito, the moment, special.
so what does all that mean? im not sure. i know im hungry though. and that im thinking of burritos. but im thinking of training at the same time.
no, really.. what i mean is, train like its your last burrito. enjoy it. have fun. savor it. but dont get shit wrong.. because youre there for a purpose. youre not the sorry sack-of-shit types that want beans in your burrito. youre the carne asada type. substance, no filler. you wanna go all out, none of that tide-you-over till next time bs. to be cliché, youre in it to win it. you aint there to be a plain bean and rice burrito, youre there to be a carne asada burrito. be special. be the burrito. train like a madman (or madwoman *bite knuckles*).
