Now there is only darkness

In the beginning there was only darkness. 

Then Jeff created 'circuit', and 'circuit' was the light. Jeff looked upon 'circuit' and he was pleased. The people tried 'circuit' and they were broken, so Jeff spoke unto the people and said "it's no good being able to run, if you can't carry your shopping home" and the people did get strong. But the world was too flat and uninteresting, so Jeff did create 'hills' and again the people were broken but they did get strong. Soon the people told Jeff they wanted to be fast and they found out "the only way to run fast, is to run fast" and the people got faster. Then the people did race, many people, and raced proudly, and some even won prizes! And Jeff knew everyone would gladly race for 'the club' no matter what their standard and they would they would always, always "gamble and hold it".

But slowly over the years darkness did fall again onto the world, and the word of Jeff was lost. The people stopped doing speed-work and intervals and they did not like racing, (even when it was free!) and 'the club' did not know why. Analysts considered that "time is an abstract concept" but Jeff would not have that, he'd have said

In the warriors code

There's no surrender

Though his body says stop

His spirit cries - never!

Deep in our soul

A quiet ember

Know it's you against you

It's the paradox

That drives us on

Ok it's from the Rocky IV soundtrack, but start getting driven on again.....

I'm Spartacus!
