Lighter day today. I was kinda having a rough time. Just a bit tired from yesterday. And my arms are a little tight. Nothing major. This is my 'accessory day' anyway. (Brian's words.)

The Lift-A-Thon went excellent last night :-D I had so much fun. It was great. Brian's employees showed and helped run it and clean up. Some of the lifters came and helped set up. Brian knew just how to run it and he was the judge. He kept things going very smoothly. He kept the crowd well-informed and explained everything. It was a great night. Much bigger turnout than I expected. And we raised more than I expected. Everyone was real supportive of everyone else while they were lifting. It was great.

I've thought about using the Outside Looking In theme for a while, but, something else has come up when I've wanted to. It's very fitting for last night though. And a lot of days when I'm hanging out. There's a song by Lonestar that talks about this guy who has been all over the place and done many things and seen many things. But his favorite view is his 'Front Porch Lookin' In." Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dvKS9RO99o. It's a great song. It makes me smile....cuz, as much as I love training and as much as I love being activeand getting involved while I'm at the gym....some of my most cherished time is when Brian is working with another client or working out himself, or, like last night running the meet. I just sit back and watch how much he loves what he does and what passion he has for it. It's awesome. Even with all the other lifters last night, they all had such a motivation to be there...it was so cool to just watch everyone do what they're really great at and what they love to do. It's so fun to just observe sometimes and enjoy, instead of being in the mix....when you're on the outside, just looking in and watching how much everyone else enjoys what they're doing. :-)
