Bruce Lee had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We’d run the three miles in twenty-one or twenty-two minutes. Just under eight minutes a mile [Note: when running on his own in 1968, Lee would get his time down to six-and-a half minutes per mile]. So this morning he said to me “We’re going to go five.” I said, “Bruce, I can’t go five. I’m a helluva lot older than you are, and I can’t do five.” He said, “When we get to three, we’ll shift gears and it’s only two more and you’ll do it.” I said “Okay, hell, I’ll go for it.” So we get to three, we go into the fourth mile and I’m okay for three or four minutes, and then I really begin to give out. I’m tired, my heart’s pounding, I can’t go any more and so I say to him, “Bruce if I run any more,” –and we’re still running-”if I run any more I’m liable to have a heart attack and die.” He said, “Then die.” It made me so mad that I went the full five miles. Afterward I went to the shower and then I wanted to talk to him about it. I said, you know, “Why did you say that?” He said, “Because you might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.”

You were my world for so long, and now you’re gone and I’m left with nothing. What the fuck am I supposed to do now? Yeah, I do some harmless flirting with some girls, not big I swear, just enough to get my mind off of you, but at the end of the day I can’t do anything but think of you. Your smile, your laugh, the way you walk, the way you talk, those weird noises you make, I think about everything you did that made me love you for you. It’s fucking pathetic. It’s pathetic because you’re over me, you’ve been over me long before the relationship even ended. I knew it too, in the bottom of my heart I knew you were moving on slowly with each passing day, but I was too stubborn to end It for myself before I got my heart broken because I was just so in love with you… I’m such a fucking idiot. To actually think someone would stay loving me…
Never making that mistake again.
