Day 3
Sore. Everyone seemed to be sore. But not too sore to tackle Day Three!! Today we did the tour of The Lovett School where we meet. We leisurely walked the campus and took pictures of the the library and the bridge and bought Lovett Lion magnets for our fridges. HA HA! NOT! We ran to one spot of campus, did planks, ran to another spot, did push ups, ran to another spot, did leg extensions, ran to another spot...ok, you catch my drift - that's what Train Strong calls the Tour! Lots of running today. I was not doing so well with that since I had my very heavy water bottle in hand. Wasn't aware of all the 'traveling' we were going to do. Every day is so different then the day before. I use my hands to run so being single handed slowed me down....weird. No water bottle tomorrow...nosiree!Ok, so a part of campus we stopped at were these stone benches....well, it looked more like a very tiny amphitheatre....oh I don't know what it was....I was trying to catch my breath. Anyway, the portion of the stone seat I was doing my step up leg pull extension do-hicky's had a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I don't recall the quote because I was focused on pulling my 20 pound legs up one after another. My left foot continually planted itself on the 'rson' part of his last name. It was my focal point.Ralphy DOES have another quote that says "He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear." Powerful words Waldo! (Ok, the man has the funniest first 2 names don't you think!) I think that daily I am surmounting fears in this program....fears of not making it...fears of only being able to accomplish little. Thank you Train Strong for helping me make it! Helping me accomplish more than I thought I could!
