thanks for the words tam/joe etc..
joe/zetz, odd, im much better at 200m than 400m.. i mean, i can go all out for 200m without really feeling mentally drained.. when i go all out on 400's, i have alot of mental 'fatigue' as well as some physical fatigue.. the physical fatigue right now definitely isn't as bad as the mental fatigue.. once the mental fatigue disappears, it'z over, 2012 olympics.
You serious about that? Would be epic! I would wear fan shirts of you despite the fact that I don't even like the 400 m event
.
well everyone makes an olympic claim once in their life, but i say, why not? i mean, just thinking about that as a goal transforms your training/motivation to the next degree, so in that sense it helps.. but who knows mang, i mean, i know that i'm capable of some insane shit if i just go 100% in terms of anaerobic endurance/short aerobic endurance events.. so who knows you know? i'm going to try and express that ability as much as possible, while still improving vert/top end speed, and then we'll see what happens..
i just need a bigger motivation than dunking/training etc.. i mean, i realize that, when i was boxing, i had more fire.. i had a goal, and that goal was to fight pro and become a champ.. i mean having that in the back of my head transformed my training so hard, plus, i just couldn't puss out knowing that someone was going to be in the ring every week trying to take my head off, with all of the sparring i did.. so i had something to keep me in check.
i'm about to become 28, but i don't really think that matters.. i know for a fact i could run an impressive 400/1500m, i just have to create a goal that will keep me focused and give me more purpose.. i have some insane work ethic, that's for sure, always have, so that little goal I've created will give me more direction..
bottom line, i need to prepare for 'competition', so that i'm not just training to train.. i feel i've lost that aspect of myself, as i used to be insanely competitive, not only with myself, but competitive against others.
so ya, who knows, saying "2012 olympics go get it" before my 400's worked last night, so it's serving it's purpose already

peace
edit: no disrespect to actual people preparing for olympics

it's more of a way to get me to work as hard as humanly possible and make as much progress as possible in the next 1.5 years.
edit #2: also, i don't want to be one of those guys who says some olympic goal then trains like a pussy.. olympics 2012 is more of a slogan at this point for pushing my body to the absolute extremes.
