Train Like a Rock Star

A few months back, my girlfriend and I won tickets to a Redwings game at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit which we thought was being played last night.

The thing was, as I was driving into downtown Detroit all they could talk about on the radio was the Aerosmith Concert which was about to start at Joe Louis Arena.

Uh oh.

When I met her at her office downtown we checked the tickets sure enough we had the wrong date, the game is actually being played tonight (Saturday)

So we did the most sensible thing we could – we headed over to the Joe to see if they had any Aerosmith tix left, (They did) so we scooped em up and took our seats.

The warm-up band, Hinder, wasn’t bad, then, just as expected, Aerosmith rocked Detroit city for two solid hours. They put on one hell of a show.

Hard to believe Steve Tyler, Joe Perry and the other guys are in their late fifties and have been rocking since before I was born.

Not only have they made a career of doing what they truly love, but they have kept it up for the long haul.

You cant do that if you aren't serious.

Success in training is the same way. The great ones don't just begin - they keep at it. Heck, I can’t play a lick of music but you can bet that thirty years from now, Ill still be trainin' as hard as Aerosmith is rockin'. (They might still be at it too)

Now, we're off to catch the 'Wings.
