Day 20 | Sprint Day

“Role models who push us to exceed our limits, physical training that removes our spare tires, and risks that expand our sphere of comfortable action are all examples of eustress—stress that is healthful and the stimulus for growth.” - Tim Ferris

This quote really hits home with me highlighting the emotions that I have towards my training and listening to those to help improve this curious grind to elite health. My girlfriend has taught me a lot about self-discipline, self-awareness, and how to just shut up and train. On this training day to be honest I was not "feeling it." I was beginning to find way to justify me not training and how I will just make up for all of it the next day. But seeing the pain and hell Laura has gone through to get to where she is today in her grind inspires me to be better, train harder , and to focus on the things that will improve my journey opposed to the distractions that kill your progress. We all need these types of people in out lives who will challenge us when we need challenged and compliment us when we need complimented. It is a relationship that has been a blessing on my life, career, and future. She is much more than an imspiration but a blueprint for those who are striving to improve. 

So more about the training, sorry just had to get that out. I ran my sprints on saturday before feasting into some chicken and shrimp hibachi! Yummm. My workout was tough because I had to kill it on a playground but also because I ran 6.5 miles 3 days before. For some reason the recovery has been the hardest but that is soley because of my nutrition. So yes I need to get better.
