I know I preach and ramble on about many topics during the
workouts, but I’m pretty sure not on this topic. If you have heard what I’m about to say, just
stop me; oh that’s right you won’t be able to.
Well, tonight I wanted to focus more on pushing you all more than
usual. I know I yell at times and offer
positive reinforcement, but tonight I did something’s a tad different. One I forced the first group to take control
of at least one of the repetitions, and when one of them started to struggle I
told him to focus on a target. This is
where I begin my preaching. Keep your
eye on the prize, this goes for everyone no matter if it’s a tough workout or a
road race you’re doing. If you keep your
head up and target a person or even an object such as a cone, it should be
enough to push you further.
Another
motivational tool that got pulled out of the bag tonight was used against a
certain young lady at the very end of the workout. As I was coming back from picking up the cone
that lay at the bottom of the hill, I started to yell up to the runner that if
I caught her she would have to do another repetition. It was hot and it was the last hill of the
night, but sometimes it’s good to empty our tanks. With the thought in her head that she would
have to climb this hill another time, she dug very deep and owned the rest of
that hill. Funny what a little incentive
can do…
Also owning the hill tonight:
Kevin, Charlotte, Matt, Sharon, Rich, John, Haydee, Renee,
Brian, Steve, Jim, and Denise. 13 total
tonight which is a very respectable number considering the heat.
Speed workout
Reminder:
We will be meeting at
Council Rock South on Thursday at 6PM.
We will begin 50/50 drawings this Thursday that will be picked at the
end of the workout we will do one every Thursday leading up to the Track Meet. All money raised will go toward the track
meet. $1 a chance or $10 for an arm’s
length.
