Offseason Workout

I'm back with another update for you, this time I to talk about my offseason workout and how I've been keeping busy.
The truth is that despite my new situation and the number of years I've been in the league, my offseason workout has not changed at all. It is still the same every year. I haven't changed one aspect of my training. In my time with Seattle, they always gave me freedom to train in Seattle or elsewhere. So I spent much of my time working out on my own and didn't ever really return to Seattle until the middle or end of May. So that hasn't changed and I'm on track.
I'm still running and training at the local colleges and gyms in my area, which helps keep my competitiveness at a high level. There is always some guy who challenges me or thinks he's as fast as me and wants to run, some kid on a college campus who thinks he can stay with me. So it's always been like that, with a couple of guys I can train with and stay motivated. That's always how I start my offseason workout program a few weeks after a season ends and I've had time to relax a bit.
I also have a great coach who runs me all over the place. He trains Olympians, other athletes and really knows what he's doing. Right now, he's more fired up than ever because he's the kind of guy who gets offended if you doubt or speak ill of his guys. He's the one who wants to prove everything to the world of doubters. He trains me to put me on another level. I love that, because it pushes me to be better. I also love the challenges he puts before me.
So don't worry about me. I'm working as hard as I ever have.

Thanks for the update. Keep up the hard work and good luck with your negotiations! Can't wait to see you back on the field - how 'bout San Diego?
