Mike Hawke Gets Hard (Signed Copy)

Mike Hawke Gets Hard... A Softness Problem That Required Immediate And Sustained Attention

Mike Hawke was getting soft and limp. Mike Hawke needed to get hard and stop being soft. This is the story of Mike Hawke's efforts to address this situation through what appears to be a rigorous program of exercise, discipline, and physical conditioning. Mike Hawke is committed to getting hard. Mike Hawke does not want to be soft anymore. The neighbors have noticed the transformation. The dedication is admirable. This book documents every stage of Mike Hawke getting hard with illustrated cartoon art and the complete, unflinching sincerity of a fitness journey that the book has decided to narrate without commentary.

This is a book about a man named Mike Hawke and his physical fitness journey, and the name is a coincidence, and the fitness journey is the subject matter, and any interpretation of "Mike Hawke getting hard" that does not involve fitness is being projected onto a story about exercise by a reader who should probably examine their own assumptions. Mike Hawke is exercising. The results are documented. The hardness is a fitness achievement. That is the complete interpretation that this book endorses.

This Book IS For:

• Adults who have appreciated the Mike name-based humor series and need the full collection for completeness
• Fitness enthusiasts who also have a sense of humor about the specific vocabulary of physical transformation
• Anyone who has ever had to read a fitness article with completely professional detachment despite the vocabulary
• Gift-givers who want to hand someone a Mike Hawke book and watch comprehension arrive on its own schedule

• Anyone named Mike Hawke who did not see this coming and is reconsidering several life choices simultaneously
