I am who I am and that's all that I am

One thing is for sure,running these Vibram Five Finger shoes are going to grow my calves.
I have come to terms with the fact that I have skinny legs. I've cycled thousands of miles, run thousands of miles and weight lifted at some level my entire life, and yet, my legs are still thin. Although, the muscle definition does change with all of this training. However, running in these Vibrams is a crazy hard workout for my calves, so perhaps I will finally get some growth here.
Tonight I ran four miles after working a 12 hour day. I was driving home from La Quinta and thinking that I should run tonight, but I still needed to eat dinner. I made all sorts of excuses to blow off the run tonight as I drove. Finally, I fell back on the fact that I am an fitness fanatic and I exercise daily. That is who I am and if that is who I am, then I don't blow off workouts. I've studied successful people at all levels and the lesson contained in those last few sentences is one of the most important that I've learned. Define yourself then live up to that definition. You don't get what you want, you get what you expect and when you define yourself ( in this case as an athlete or fitness fanatic) you expect a certain behavior that matches that definition. So I'm not really deciding to workout or not, I'm deciding to be who I am or not be who I am.
Anyhow, who I am, is a guy that is going to have some calves......Just saying.
