NEVER QUIT

NEVER QUIT
If you are not practicing, just remember: someone, somewhere, is practicing, and when you two meet,
given roughly equal ability, she will win. -Ed Macauley

"Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let our fears get in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. So stop. Try something you've never tried. Risk it...you have nothing to lose and everything, everything, everything to gain." –Nike

Treadmill: 1, JMar: 2

Hi friends!

So like Monica said, we met up once again to workout today. It's still pretty chilly (more snow coming tonight I hear!!) so we ran our 100yd repeats on the treadmill, 30 on:30 off style. Well, as you may recall, these "fancy" treadmills don't like runners to get a rest. Mine especially. So literally EVERY rest it would go "ARE YOU THERE?" until finally it just shuts off mid sprint! I'm so flustered so Webb (running next to me) goes "jump on!" as she finishes her sprint and I hop on hers.

However, I refused to be defeated by a freakin treadmill. So...I pumped that badboy back up and decided to just sprint without a rest to finish out the sprints. HA take that treadmill. Then, to show the treadmill really who's boss, we decided to do some extra sprints as fast as the treadmill can possibly go. Obviously, we won. 2 pts JMar. 1pt treadmill. I like afternoon workouts. I felt like I coulda run forever. (Thanks Glenn for getting us in shape!)

Anywhooo..then we went into the gym and did some footwork. We did another variation of Katie's footwork test with hurdles and sprints and slides all the while yelling defensive lingo. Props to Monica who remembered to yell "2-for-1" after the "ball down" call ;) Then we did some other fun footwork with mini sprints/slides/backpedal in the lane of the bball court and then some pivoting drills and some dots.

We finished up with a nice wall ball sesh until we were overwhelmed by the 18000 after school children trying to be ballers. No joke, one dude was wearing jeans and a wife beater and was paler than Webb's unburnt bum. Like, really???

Tomorrow is our last chance workout. So all I will say is, what have you done today to make you feel proud???

Love
