Let Jake Inspire You

You read about The Jakester training for a marathon in a blog here or an IM there and you probably brush it off. But seriously imagine running a 26.2 mile race yourself right now. You would need to set a future goal and train for a very long time to achieve it. Im not even being sarcastic when I say that I respect that a lot.

So after going out last night, I got up this morning and didn't really feel like working out. Then I thought of our resident ex collegiate standout athlete turned marathon runner. I knew that his workout today would suck much more than mine. It gave me enough inspiration to get it going.

So Im driving to the gym and who do I see? The Jake Man himself jogging. I whipped out my camera and snapped a picture. I was laughing pretty hard because he didn't even see it coming.



So then I get to the gym and start working out hard. I mean I just saw Jake jogging his god damn heart out. About halfway through my workout I look over and who do I see? Slick Nick pressing dumbells high above his head. Besides Kate, the blogfathers are all out getting buff the day after beer and buff... chicken pizza. Jake must have inspired both of us. I tried to talk to Williams but he was all like "Cant talk now bro, hit my blackberry lata, Ive got iron to twist". So I stopped talking to him, snapped a quick pic of him (below), and finished my workout.



So people, let Jake's marathon quest inspire you. Set a goal and attain it. Thanks for listening. God speed on all of your personal journeys and conquests.
