I can tell you one thing: I will be darn good at bear crawls before the end of PLS. In fact, I may run my marathon on my hands like a monkey. Just because I can.
Today involved a lot of running. I was winded most of the time — which is exactly what I wanted to happen. We did P and W drills.(and did bear crawls through the W drills). We did a four-corner drill as we ran around the track (you stop on the corners and do pushups, run in place, burpees and mountain climbers.) We have tired legs.
When I say we, I mean line four. My line.
Everyone finished together with a fast lap around the track (1/4 of a mile), ran a giant W drill (the length of the field, crossing to the 20, 40, 40, 20 and then end zone.) and then the gauntlet up and down the stadium stairs (I had flashbacks to running up and down the stadium stairs at Sprayberry High School nearly 30 years ago.) And then it was back to the end zone to cool down.
Two weeks into the program and I can tell you the intensity has been raised up a notch. That’s good — because I needed that. If I am going to get to the next level, I have to push myself. Hard.
This week will be a long week of travel. My schedule is as full and I’ll be speaking frequently. Because I push myself in the morning, I can push myself on the stage.
This morning’s workout was excellent. It was a Triumphant Tuesday.
