No where near as good of a day as I had hoped, The only good news is it gives me something to build on.

"One of the things you learn in football is that you're only as good as your last outing. I don't like to reflect on what we've done in the past. I'm not a very good storyteller, for one thing. I'd disappoint you. When it's time, I'll talk about the good old days. But it's a sign of old age, reveling in the past."

I haven't logged anything in a month partially because I have been almost TOO busy to get on a computer and partially because training has sucked. I will say on a positive, I am getting much better at the 3 or less hours of sleep workouts. Today began a bastardized version of the cube training program which is a bastardized version of westside's training program, which I like to do anyway so well see how it goes. I am not into following other peoples programs, but I think staying regimented will really help me to stay on track since life has sucked lately.
