I love to squat heavy and press hundreds of pounds over my head. I think it's some great fun. However, I love a great cold brewed coffee with a fantastic book that has absolutely nothing to do with fitness, but theology or Mexican-American literature and writing about culture. On the same note, I love to connect with people, especially leaders in the local church who are on mission in their city. 

I'm like you, on the go. Most days I'm up by 6 in the morning, while others at 3:30 in the morning. If I'm not reading and cooking breakfast for my son and I before he goes to school, I'm getting my bag ready with food and my gear so I can go and coach classes while my family stays warm and toasty. 

My work is different and I love it because it is the charge God has entrusted me with this season. When I'm meeting with community group leaders, I'm hearing about their struggles, success, and sin; walking alongside of them in their seasons, not supervising at a distance. When I'm at the box, I'm coaching athletes who desire to be healthy in a region that has the highest rate of obesity in the country.

In the end, whether I'm praying for the men who lead their families and groups into a mission field or helping someone adjust their foot-work so they can squat properly, my charge is their care.  What's your charge?
