I’m so incredibly grateful for my great fortune. That I met Chris who agreed to work with me on this challenge. That I have so many wonderful people who care about me. That I don’t have to experience the terrible affects of war and poverty. I have everything and yet for years I have felt deep sadness. It is a profoundly unjust world we live in. Those who cause pain to others, both economically and physically, are often rewarded handsomely for it. We are out of balance and I’ve been out of balance. Fitness for EMERGENCY USA is my small way of trying to restore some of that balance.

Here’s another video from day 4. In it Chris and I talk about the pain I’m going through by pushing my body back into shape vs. the pain that the civilian victims of war have to go through.

Today I did another 30 minutes cardio at Qi Denver. I pushed myself a little harder but still introducing my body back into working out.
