Dear Diary,
I know, I know. Its early. I got up to get my run in because I'm The Man. You know how I know? Because this song told me so.

Yup, right from the beginning the song reaffirmed my beliefs. It also got me drinking the koolaid pretty quickly. "I believed every lie that I ever told." When I heard the pace I was going after 5 minutes, I knew I was The Man and The Man was going to crush his record for his best mile. Turns out I was wrong and I missed crushing my record. Hell I didn't even get close to it. But I still had a chance to be The Man because I had that song on a loop the whole time I ran. It turns out that wasn't as long as I had run before. Thats because The Man ran at a better overall pace today, in spite of missing out on my best mile. So f*** you mile one record. I got up and did what must be done.  I ran harder than before only to find myself standing 4th in the line of my Nike Running app motivation. 

Huh? Nope. No disrespect, but they're not my competition. The Man has no competition but The Man. I run to do better than I did before, but ok. The Man shouldn't be in 4th place. So maybe I'm not The Man yet, just a man. But I'll get there, because this is my world. It's time to do what must be done. Be a king when kingdom comes. So go ahead and tell everybody, I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man. Huh? I know, I know. Its early.
