Maurice Clarett: Blogging!
Bob Hunter, sports columnist at the Columbus Dispatch, has uncovered a gem. Maurice Clarett, the disgraced former Ohio State running back, has started a blog from prison as a forum to share his thoughts.
Clarett’s blog — The Mind Of Maurice Clarett — has so far not featured anything about which Ohio State and football coach Jim Tressel would have to answer. But it’s likely only a matter of time.
Several of the entries describe Clarertt’s desire to improve himself. In one, he talks about enrolling in college classes. In another, he lays out his upcoming workout routine, which he hopes will help him drop pounds from his current 233.
I must admit that making convenient excuses to eat during the holidays has helped the increase. I have to get it all back in order now. I have a new weight goal; my goal is to weigh in at 210 lbs. by April 1st. I know it is possible and it can be done in a healthy way. Here are eight things that I plan on doing:
1. Strength train four days of the week.
2. Cardio for two hours daily and agility training forty-five minutes daily.
3. Core train with a thousand sit-ups daily.
4. Eat no food after 6 p.m. every day.
5. Fast all day on Sundays.
6. No sugar and no flour on Mondays and Tuesdays.
7. Eat only fish, rice, and oatmeal for the first 30 days.
8. Drink water and coffee only.
Clarett also folds in inspirational quotes from Warren Buffet and responses to comments. The first entry seems to be from Oct. 7, 2008, titled, “Transcending Ignorance and Supporting Humane Living.” In it, he writes:
It is my hopes that someone will pull something out of here to help them get through their daily living.
