I checked out the new gym site. I like it. Not traditional navigation but easy enough to figure out. I'll send people their way.

It sounds like you are really stepping up your game with your roadwork. The times/distances seem to be increasing.

I really like what your doing detailing your personal boxing journey. Keep at it!

You know that you are really good friends when you haven't seen each other in a while and then talk to each other like the last time was yesterday. Also, if I had all this knowledge when I was in high school it would've been a great time. Good story ;)

I started my 2012 work regimen this February. It involves hitting the gym in Saturday and going on a run on Sundays.

Nice that you got to reconnect. Good for you.

I encourage you to do it. The workouts are intense, but really provide what one of my law school classmates called (in the context of concluding a semester) "a good, healthy feeling of exhaustion." I've also made some very good friends in the sport. Given your focus and tenacity, you'd likely be good at it.

I have always wanted to learn how to box. I should one of these days. And not from one of those gyms that does it as a form of aerobics, but from an actual fighter.

2011-11-27T23:26:05.993-06:00

I must say, I'm in South Africa so the weather's great right now but I'm so lazy when it comes to road work. I can handle all my other training but running really stinks. I can't seem to get myself motivated to hit the road. It's so important though.

Hey digit,

Welcome to the blog. Thanks for following me!

I've added your site to my blogroll; I'll be eager to follow your progress as you prepare for your bout. I'd be even more of a good sport and offer to be your opponent, but we're half a world distant from one another, so I don't think that would work.

In any event, I wish you the best success with your training.

Hi Steve,
was wondering if you were interested in a link trade with my boxing blog: www.boxingideas.com

Just comment on my blog if you. Thanks and keep up the good work! I can't wait to be a white collar boxer just like you some day.

Hi Cole,

Thanks for your comment. I suppose being happy at the death of a fellow human being--regardless of how widely despised that individual may have been--seems a bit odd to me.

The images you recall are frightening and painful ones. The sight of people dropping from the WTC towers shook me up on the morning of September 11, 2001, and seeing photos or video of them still rattles me.

I am sorry to learn that you had such unpleasant encounters with people online. The linking of this situation to "when a pedophile was called to justice" is really flimsy. Such comments are meant to bait you, to trigger some hostile response.

It sounds like you handled the situation in a mature, kind, compassionate, and spiritually sound manner. I am sad to learn of the abuse you experienced.

I don't think you are crazy at all for your reaction. I am glad you decided to pray for that friend; like everyone, she needs healing. I like what you said, that for you, "forgiveness, not vengeance brings peace." Violence seems invariably to beget more violence. I think Jesus was teaching us about that when He offered His "turn the other cheek" instruction.

Some people interpret that teaching as saying we should just let people abuse us. I disagree with that reading of the lesson. To me, Jesus was talking in very practical terms, from His deep understanding of human nature. As long as we return violence with violence, the cycle of violence will never end; it will continue and escalate.

It's very difficult to follow this teaching in the midst of receiving a lot of pain and harm from others. However, it does offer an alternative. We are truly free to respond differently, to refuse to continue violent behavior. It takes great courage to step outside that raging realm of retaliation, but it can be done. It's not easy, but possible.

Thanks for your kind words. It's reassuring to know that others share some of the ambivalence I felt at Mr. bin Laden's death. I wouldn't call it joy or happiness, nor would I say I was especially sad. I experienced a weird mix of relief and apprehension about what will happen next.

I hope you'll become a regular visitor and commenter here. Thanks!

All right now i know what they mean that lawyers in a court are as good as boxers in a ring.Nice pictures and congratulations on founding a new close friend in Tim

Hey Steve,
nice work on the renewed commitment. I think the best workouts I ever had were between 5 and 6 am. It's a great way to start the day off.

Keep up the good work,
Sam

Just like when people build muscle fast - you need to constantly improve by lifting more weights to get stronger so as long as your goal for each day is to go the extra inch then you'll suceed faster

Hey Steve

Very interesting site! I've been working with quite a lot with guys such as yourself (I'm a long time boxer and coach) and have created a site with lots of boxing skills and techniques. Maybe you can get that little step ahead of the competition! Anyways, i know it's a bit of an imposition, but I'd be really interested in your views on the stuff I've created...no pressure though! Great blog mate!

Being a self employed entrepeneurs these days is a tough chore! These articles give great insite and have given me a better understanding as I too am trying my luck at entrepenueurship!

Googluck guys! Keep up good work

2010-09-09T00:27:08.694-05:00

Steve,

Keep focused on your goals and I know you will pull a great advance.

We truly are capable of more than we realize and when our desires match our will great things begin to happen.

Remember, the mind and the body are one and they strengthen each other at all times.

Each workout allows you to work harder, longer, and more productively than all of your competitors.

All the best!

I think charging in head-first is a foul. I support Mike Tyson's right to bite Evander Holyfield's ear because of the headbutting.

When I watch boxing, I want to see boxing, not one guy exploiting a 'loophole' and charging in with his head.

2010-08-22T02:31:51.460-05:00

They're both intersting articles, and many parts beyond! I think it's interesting not to just pick up the things these entrepeneurs have done but their attitiude in writing and mentality, all very positive vreative people who work hard. Being successful is about more than money and these 6 interviews give a good example I think.
