It's been a while...really long while...since I jogged...sober. Went to the closest football field and did some 100s. Didn't hurt like I thought it would, but I'm sure I will be feeling it in the morning.
I didn't do any drugs or drinking until my senior year in high school. Part of what led to me saying "Forget working hard to get better at sports and just be cool like all the popular, cool dudes" was me listening to the negativity around me:
1) You'll never play ball at a big-time college.
2) Even if you do make a big-time college team, you'll never play pro.
3) There's more to life than basketball.
4) Why waste your time playing a kids' game when you could be cool - going to drinking parties, meeting girls, and making friends with cool people.
Dang, I was foolish. Trying not to be foolish again.
