Fight Training: 24′s
What sets a Legendary fighter apart from a good fighter, or even the average guy?
Its not necessarily more talent, although it helps. It aint a head start in life, thats for sure. Its a combination of hunger and a will to succeed, as well as some Legendary training. Even in fictional characters like Rocky, it was his training that pushed him to beat more talented guys like Apollo Creed and physically superior guys like Ivan Drago or even Mason Dixon.
Rocky Marciano had read that Joe Louis probably the greatest heavyweight of all time ran 6 miles a day. R
Kidney Removal Part 2
The kidney removal surgery went better than planned but my husband did wake up with 3 one inch incisions on his right side and about a 6 inch one going directly down his abdomen starting above the belly button. This was the first abdominal surgery that my husband has ever had. At this point I have had let us see… the first was an abdominal entry to replace a disc in my back, the second was appendix removal, gallbladder removal and then the TRAM flap reconstruction so I have had 4 abdominal surgeries so far. Hopefully it will not go any higher.
For his surgery he was supposed to get up and start walking the next day with the nurses’ help and he did not.
Kidney Removal Surgery
So my husband had his kidney removal surgery and it actually went a little better than I was planning. The surgery was scheduled to last about 3 hours so when the doctor came out 1 ½ hours after the surgery started I was rather concerned. If you ever watch a medical show on TV you know that if a surgery is over too fast it usually means there are complications like the patient dying or having cancer spread throughout their body. So when the waiting room phone rang and the volunteer said the surgery was over and she took me to a quiet room in the back for the doctor to speak with me I was sure he was going to say that my husband’s cancer had come back.

Photo by J.T. Liss (Photography for Social Change)They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. In our time, this might also be true of a video captured by smart phone or a 140-character Tweet. Yet, there is a sense of timelessness, of depth, when a moment is captured at just the right time in a photograph. All the narrative you need is right there. That’s what yogin J.T. Liss realized when he walked through the streets of Harlem. This former school teacher and counselor to at-risk youth saw beauty in human imperfection, in buildings weathered by time and neglect, in spaces and scenes that others might not notice. Train More!
