I woke up at 5:11 this morning — which is about an hour too late to make my morning workout. I got up and did some promotional work on the book. Probably should have gone running but I was pretty tired. I got a hell of a workout yesterday.
My books arrived. My new children’s book Banjo’s Dream came via an 18-wheeler and three pallets. Just for the record, that’s 192 27-lb. boxes containing a little over 5,100 books that weighed 5,500 lbs.
Thankfully the team at Stadium Wrap helped me move the boxes inside, down four steps and across the building. We loaded a pallet jack and moved several dozen cases at a time. And then we lifted two 27-lb. boxes at a time and stacked them. After the boxes were stacked, I delivered 10 boxes of books (270 lbs.) and one box of my other book Fried Chicken and Wine. (42 lbs.) to Lemuria Books. I then delivered four boxes of Banjo’s Dream (104 lbs.) and one box of Fried Chicken & Wine (42. lbs).
That’s 458 lbs. of books. that I loaded into and carried from my car. By the time I got home, my arms were exhausted.
Two years ago, I probably would’ve dropped from a heart attack. But thanks to my PLS training, walking around with 54 lbs. in my arms was nothing. We just call that “Morgan’s station.”
My point is this: I’ll never play football again. But physical training pays dividends in many other ways. Like making Banjo’s Dream come to life.
