This is not a game and Im not playing.....

Its amazing what a new pair of shoes can do for me!  I am starting to feel like I am pushing it to another level, however, I do pay for it when I get home.  I feel faster, lighter, and stronger than any time i can remember in my life, however, I feel my age when it comes to recovery time. 

I love the feeling I get when I train.....I get to the gym, put on my armor, slip up my shin guards, grab my baseball, stretch, and slip away in the shuffle ipod.  I feel like a different person when I am training.  I feel strong, elite, and its a bit of a rush.  I crash pretty hard when I get home, but I am really enjoying this.  I am already wondering what will be next.  I have to think of the next big thing to plan....the life of an endurance athlete is somewhat lonely because most don't understand, but the one thing I share with the other athletes I talk to is the rush to keep pushing and find the next big challenge. 

This is not a game, and I'm not playing......
