What you say is totally true. I often ask myself why it is that I do "endurance sport"? And when I look at the rest of my life I know that it serves me in the life I live. There is a lot to "endure" some days! Someone once described the "dead souls" idea to me as, "walking the procession of the living dead". Same thing...just going through the motions. I agree that this happens a lot in the gym. People are there doing what they think they should be doing but there is no love or joy in it. Me? I say...let it be fun times!! Excellent post, Omar!

Although it's tough to swallow, I know that what he is saying is the truth. Sometimes when it stings, it's what we need to hear...Omar, I love your blog, and I think you present your thoughts in an engaging and articulate manner. Keep being awesome!

So it is not at any particular gym, rather it is a particular type of person. I'd even argue to say we all go through periods like that where we lack a focus or direction, its not meant to be an insult but more an observation.

At all. Actually you might find it kind of offensive even.
