Asylum: Gameday + Overtime = Falling over...

Imagine that you are playing your favorite sport, whether you watch it or actually play it. Imagine that its the biggest game of your career, do or die in the playoffs, game 7. You are giving it your all, playing as hard as you can, laying it all out there for your shot at glory. You come to the end of regulation and the game is tied. You are beaten, battered, scared, and tired but somehow, you have to dig even deeper than you have ever before. Its overtime, it's your team's last chance to win. You have to push and leave it all out there on the field, on the court, or in the rink. 

This is the idea behind Gameday & Overtime is similar to the situation above. You work hard all the way throughout your game, and then at the end of regulation, you go into overtime and push for the win. Those of you who played sports or still do, you realize that the game can change in a heartbeat. You may be ahead one moment, the next, you're behind. In hockey, coaches get so irritated with their teams when they get a comfortable 2 or 3 goal lead, then a few seconds goes by and the game is now tied, all because they let their guard down or they relaxed. 

In Gameday, your are constantly told to push, give it your all for everything you do within that 65 minutes. You're tired, but you still have to keep going. You have to get that frame of mind that you cannot stop, you may be tired, you may be feeling the burn, but you have to dig deep and push. And when you think its over, there is overtime, another 15 minutes that forces you to give it your all. 

Overall, today (Day 17) was my best day so far, I noticed my strength and agility have improved immensely since day 1 and my speed is slowly coming up. I was able to do 8 reps of the mountain climber pull-ups in each 2 minute set, which is impressive since I couldn't do any when I started. However, when it came to overtime, I was whooped, I was dragging, I was trying so hard to stay with it. BTW Shaun T, that was BS at the end, saying that we're done, then go no wait, we are not, 12 straight up pull-ups and 25 push-ups right now, which btw, I got 8 pull-ups without assistance (which is my personal best) and 22 push-ups in the time allowed. Luckily, the camera wasn't rolling because when I got done, I was on the floor for a good 5 minutes trying to pull myself together to do relief since there isn't a cool down as part of overtime. It would have been embarassing....haha.

So is this short program working?? Heck yeah it is! All you have to do is get your mind focused on your goal and keep working towards it. You may stumble, you may fall, and thats life, just get back up and jump in...
