That was an incredibly fast two weeks “n’est pas?” The Beijing Olympics will close August 24th and shortly thereafter I look forward to hearing my cell phone ring while glancing down to see “incoming call … Coach Carla”!
I have been running – more appropriately deemed: jogging – once again. At first I thought my legs may have transformed into elongated sacs of lead … albeit alarming … within the first 10 minutes it stopped being as excruciating as the look on my face likely made it seem.
I also started doing some lighter lifting this week. My shoulders and traps are feeling it already. Add some abdominal work and we have one seriously sore body. I can’t lie though – it feels good.
“Your training partner’s name is pain. You start out trying to ignore him. Can’t do it. You attempt to reason with him. No way. You try to strike a bargain. Hah! You plea; you say, ‘Please stop, please go away. I promise never ever to do this again if you just leave me alone.’
But he won’t. Pain only climbs off if you do. Then you’re beaten. ”
