Post Weekend

Greetings and Salutations,

The trip to Canada was awesome except I didn't get to run in the mountains. I didn't know Canada was flat. I assumed it was all moose, Mounties, and hills, I saw none of the above.

After our 10 miles on Sat we decided to do a short 3 miles Sun morning. The weather was perfect again and we stretched it out stopping every half mile to do push ups, crunches, diamond push ups, V-ups, dips and some box jumps on a bench. The we went to the Lumberjack, a local restaurant known for its breakfast. It was quite a pile of eggs, potatoes, peameal (bacon like ham), flapjacks or french toast. Healthy? Not exactly. Tasty? Oh yeah.

Monday I had training with the trainee after work. I got in "trouble" for using her name so I might change her name to Gerty, to protect the innocent. Gerty got some on Friday and twisted her ankle, did the right thing taking Sat and Sun off and hit it hard last night. She pushed through the pain for 2.89 miles, which was really good on a bum ankle. And then said, that's not enough. So we did 45 burpees and some bench dips after we did arm hangs half way through the run. Before the last set of burpees I distinctly heard, "I hate you." Mission accomplished. I also got in a quick 1.75 miles before she got there to get my total up over 4 miles.

I hope all of you have that drive at the end. Have that "its not enough until its enough" type attitude. She didn't run as hard as she wanted to so she asked for more. When you are coming around the corner and see the finish line, do you take off sprinting? The last set comes and you push it out cause you want it? Feel that drive, find it, want it, need it.

Get some!
