Road to American Ninja Warrior

Hey hey hey hey hey!
Why hello there!

So... totally off topic... but in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I've noticed the past couple of days... that it seems you're allowed to drive through a red arrow if you just really want to. I've never seen that in any other state or anywhere in Australia, but seen it so many times here. I like it... it's more like road guidelines than road rules.

Anywho, America is weird, but back to the topic at hand... training for the things. I was really struggling today, I was super sore, and the whole travel/office thing is exhausting... but I just happened to see this while I was at the gym, and it helped me get through :

Watch American Ninja Warrior Jessie Graff do a super slow pull up here - it's an insta that goes for a few seconds, it's amazing. Maybe I'll do a similar thing for Hive account@dtube or Hive account@dlive this weekend.

Really wish I could embed Instagrams or MP4 files into posts... Wordpress does it so well.

Anywho, I got all my exercises done... the Jessie Graff video was inspiring, but I also had a healthy dose of fear too. Hive account@choogirl has told me in the past to work through the DOMS and the sluggishness, and all the excuses... she's hardcore and super disciplined, and I really didn't want to tell her I didn't get it done.... AND I wanted a good rep score for Hive account@steemmatt. Steem really has helped me so much in getting my butt into gear and working hard. Thanks Steem!

I thought I was disciplined before coming along to Planet Steem, but I had no idea how much more I could push myself.

Our phones are amazing, and I think it's important to have a little collection of things that motivate or inspire you within easy access. That little 'Save to Collection' button on Instagram is so good for exact that.
