So, as promised in my last post, I have some pics to share…
Myself, Mike Tatum, and Michael McGannon (my son and primary training partner) out in the open field training some self-defense over the weekend.  Can you say HOT and MUGGY (the weather, not the pic)!!!
Here’s Mike T. (right) striking a pose…um, I mean, traditional [...]

So, the past few days I have realized my clothes are not “fitting” me the way they used to. Like tonight I was walking across a college campus and had trouble keeping my pants from hanging like the gangster that I am
There have been a few times when I felt downright goofy due [...]

Oh my goodness people! I think God was laughing at us today…in a good way. We did the bike today and I thought my legs were going to POP!
The winds were so strong going in one direction, we were literally crawling on the bike to get down the road at one point. Then [...]

It must have been in the thousands…swarms and swarms of gnats tonight while working out. I mean, random, sudden bursts of gag-reflexing gnats out of nowhere like thousands of enemy battleships defending what, apparently, they think is their homeland…against me, on the way to the U.S. Open.
Aaaaahhhhhhh!
We just couldn’t get away from the little things. [...]

Today has been such a beatdown! I began the day on the up, but then I was soon crashing (physically) and my body said, “Hey, remember when your legs were hallucinating a couple of weeks ago and you thought you were in pain then? Well, this is your WHOLE body talking tonight, not just your [...]

Big day today! Strong workout, and a lot of mental training too. Of course, mental training is woven in everything, but I mean some very specific type stuff. Worked a bit today on the design of the new “Quest” shirt, and it is turning out to be amazing. I can’t wait to share it with [...]

Whew! Good workout this morning. Michael, my oldest son and official training partner for this Quest, ate it this a.m. Yes…ate it! He ran into a mailbox on the bike portion of our workout. I was cruising and took a peek back to see where he was and tell him something…he wasn’t there!
Um…
He caught up [...]

Well, I just got some exciting news. For now, you will have to trust me because I need to work out details before I make an official announcement. This Quest is about so much more than just me working out and competing at the U.S. Open. That is the core of the whole thing (and [...]

My day has been major crazy! I am just now at workout point of the day…almost midnight. Another “midnight run” so to speak.
I don’t want to…but I must.
I will not post anything after the workout tonight (or tomorrow morning) as I will most definitely crash directly following…then go again in the a.m.
Here I go…(oh, and [...]

While training today, Nathaniel decided to increase the intensity of my workout. So, while I was doing situps, he proceeded to pound me with his foam swords…these are only a few of the pics as he was literally going all out on me. It was hilarious, but certainly does not make situps any easier. Michael [...]
