The end is near. No, not the end of time — the end of Paul Lacoste’s winter PLS training. We have one more week after this. And then it’s over.
The 12-weeks has gone by so quickly. (well, not so quickly while we were working out, but I digress).
We are preparing for next Thursday’s PLS Fit4Change (FREE) 5K, so today was primarily a run day. We started on the track. Then ran the Gauntlet (with 25-lb. weights). Then did a shuttle drill (suicides). Next station was wall sits, wall jumps, pushups, glides and body squats with full-court lunges in between. We then finished up with an Indian Run (one of my favorites). We started cold, went inside and worked up a sweat and then went back outside. It was strong. Very strong.
My heart pounded. Each beat was a mini-celebration. A celebration of being on this side of grass.
I want to thank my line-one teammates. You have pushed me. You have made me better. And you taught me that I can do things I never dreamed of before 6 a.m.
