Being in shape helps me be able to chase these guys up the hills of life.
Let’s pretend for a second that your one hour PLS workout is like life. You only get one shot at it. When it’s over, it’s over. How would you approach it? Would you constantly worry about the next thing? Would you complain about what happened last station? Would you worry about what others thought of your workout? Would you dread starting it before it even started?
Or would you focus on what you’re doing at each station. Would you work hard at doing the best you can during each exercise? Would you stretch intentionally? Would you help others when you see they need a lift?
This is the fifth time I’ve done PLS. And I can tell you that it’s like life — you get what you give. I know I’m going to hurt. I know I’m going to be tired. But I am determined to leave everything I have out on the court. The results will come.
Like I said, that’s a pretty good metaphor for life.
Be a warrior out there on the court. And then be a warrior for the rest of your day.
Speaking of court, we ran up and down it over and over today. We ran backwards, forwards and sideways. We touched the line. We ran with weights and without them. Up. Down. Up. Down. Our hearts beat faster. We bent over and touched the line. Again and again. Suicides and sprints and then more suicides and sprints. We did woodchucks with the blue balls. We did arm mechanics with weights. Today was a running day and I left it out on the court. Honestly, I’m pretty tired right now. The wood floor is reminding me I’m not as young as I used to be.
Have an awesome Tuesday. Be a warrior. And set the tone for the rest of the week.
