The Dream-Day 60

Man, what a crazy and inspiring last few days.

Headed out to LA for the annual Beachbody Summit. I cannot describe how incredible it was. I am so grateful to be involved with a company that is comprised of really cool people that are changing lives, our country, and the world. Goes far beyond people doing P90X, losing weight, and getting ripped. It's all about helping others live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. No better feeling when you can impact someone's life like that.

I didn't realize just how socially conscious they are with worldwide efforts like RainCatcher where they jumped in to help bring rainwater harvesting systems to twelve schools in Kenya/Uganda and to 150,000 people, Doctors Without Borders, International Justice Mission, etc.

I wish everyone could catch even a glimpse of what I was so fortunate to take part in over the last 4 days.

That said, the training or "paining" continued, but in ways I wasn't anticipating.

Friday, June 17th
6am: Ran 6 mi through the streets of downtown LA.
12pm: Took a taxi to USC and swam for an hour. First time in a 50 meter pool.

1:30pm: Couldn't find a cab back to the hotel. Starting walking and, after a mi & super ravenous, stumbled upon this burrito shack. Good thing. I had thoughts on gnawing on my forearm. One carne asada burrito with the works please.

5:30pm: Shaun T Insanity/Asylum workout for 1 hr. Holy craaaaaaaaaap!!

Saturday, June 18th

5:30am: Woke up and gimped to get an espresso in the hotel lobby.
7am: Super workout outside with 3,000 people & all the Beachbody celeb trainers (Tony Horton, Shaun T, Leandro Carvalho, Brett Hoebel, etc.) for 1 1/2 hrs.

The "alien" (in black) with Gail & Shane at the Super Workout.

11:30am: Took Joe Wojcik back to USC for a 1:15 min swim. Banged out 2,700 meters (Joe did a paultry 4,000). Pissed.
1:30pm: Made Joe stop at Chanos for Round 2.

Sunday, June 19th

6:15am: Woke up & crawled to get an espresso in the hotel lobby.

6:40am: Met Joe Wojcik & drove to Santa Monica to "run" for 70 min. Workout was supposed to be at an easy 9 min pace. Forgot I was in the presence of an alien. A-hole started off with an 8:05 mi and we finished the last 2 at 7:35s. I told him I was removing him from my contact list & didn't want to ever see him again.

1:45pm: Met Steve Edwards (fitness advisor for Beachbody). Had to thank him for responding to a message I had posted on the Beachbody website on a topic having nothing to do with Beachbody. The dude answered me in 3 hrs. Still can't get over it.

2pm: Off to the airport, but not before making my cabbie stop for Round 3 at Chanos. Yes, they were that good.



Still wondering how I avoided being in one of these.
