Greg's "Old Balls" Journal... or... Take that young people!

[Gregger]

Ya know, I think trail running sounds awesome. I'm not a runner really, more a sprinter, but def sounds like a great way to get some cardio!

Oh I not a runner in any means I like hill sprints or just hiking up switchbacks.
I've actually learned to enjoy the crappy weather due to less people being on the trails

Loving the story.. Will be following this log for sure...

 

[Gregger]

Thanks for looking in!
I didn't realize it was even a story worth telling until BB.com picked it up last March, been spreading the word since!
At first it was all about getting healthy, turning it around, etc...
Now that I've kicked Father Time square in the sack the focus is just how far I can take it.

Being the bad ass Grandpa who has big muscles and rides motorcycles is a pretty sweet gig...
I wanted to get the little Grands all matching T-shirts for Xmas...
"My Grandpa Can Kick Your Grandpa's Ass..."
But Gma was a bit like " um, no..."

I don't know about you Greg but my favorite is when family,friends and even my doctor ask me - why do you lift heavy weights ? I love the look on their faces when I say "because I can ". But its funny most of my friends are haters of my life style but most of the people I have meet on the internet have been motivators.

Yep, haters are everywhere... I've clipped a lot of friends and even fam off off my FB even!.
I don't have the time or patience for negativity... My work is worse, boy if I had a dime for every time someone made a stupid ass crack at my meals...
