Travel Day

Today I traveled to Torrence. The Oven warm conditions did not help my efforts to gain a half pound of weight lost over the last few days. I saturated the face towel wiping off sweat on the 2 hour drive. Boarders was a welcomed reprieve from the heat, though I had to wait some time outside due to the long line for the book signing with Tennis star Venus Williams. The extent that fans will go for a fraction of time with their hero. My anticipation, however, was met in a single moment when I laid eyes on the icon image. She was truly gracious, smiling and laughing as I told her I was following her on twitter and facebook. I read the stories of some of the other icon figures in her book, "Come To Win". It stunned me to learn how much sports and physical fitness played a role in the making of these famous people from various professional fields. I can only hope to emulate their philosophy of winning on the home front with a continued message about nutrition and exercise adherence for the best prospect to "Come To Win" in the battle to stay healthy.
