My butt got kicked this morning.
Paul Lacoste’s workout is famous for that. You cruise along and WHAM! — something just completely wipes you out. Coach Clark did it to us this morning. For 20 minutes, I was pretty much either doing a plank or doing a straight-arm plank. My shoulders are now mush. My body is tired. And my head is trying to reevaluate exactly how in-shape I actually am.
And that’s a good thing.
I’m embarrassed to say, my knees hit the ground a few times. It was more a struggle than I thought it would be. I “failed.” But that’s not a bad thing. Failure gives you a benchmark for improvement. You don’t beat yourself up. You look at where you are and where you want to go.
Right now, I want to go to bed.
