A job I love, but a job nonetheless. Granted, I work at the gym and train like a pro athlete, but sometimes I just want a break and I can't take one. "Days off" from the gym only happen once a week--Sunday.<br /><br />I always think of it like this, though. Even though the romance is gone for me and BJJ (we've been together a long time now), we're more like an old married couple that is perfectly content to turn their hearing aids off and pretend each other don't exist while sitting in the same room. <br /><br />But what makes me come back?

Personal life got hectic and I ended up taking about a year off. <br /><br />Last October, I started training regularly again and have fallen back in love. In many ways, I feel like I did when I first started. <br /><br />But to answer your question, it's always about the people for me. What I'm doing is often less important to me than who I'm doing it with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162121672828140031noreply@blogger.com
