These lovelies are a gift from my youngest. YaYa has grown up to be a such a thoughtful and kind young man. He also gave each of the ladies in his sales team a rose.
His small group training sessions have been a staple in my weekly conditioning. With the roles reversed, my son has enjoyed bossing me around. I have enjoyed getting pushed to give a little more than I think I have left on these training days. It’s been great.
But, now that he takes on the Lead Trainer Role at the gym, he will no longer be teaching these sessions. While I am proud of his ambition to move up the ranks, I know that I am not the only one who will be missing these sessions with him.
Progress Happens
Last year, I set out to support my brother, Robert in his quest for his Spartan Trifecta. His journey was successful and I now feel that he is self-sufficient and well on his way to make it his own.
Meanwhile, I took a look at my own goal for Spartan racing. I can’t say at this point whether another Trifecta is in progress. But I can say that I have signed up to do the San Jose Super (which actually in Patterson, CA) in less than a month.
Robert has a 30 minute earlier start time than me. My goal will be to see if I can catch up with him. If I feel good once we meet up, I may continue at my pace and see what I can do on my own.
Change is inevitable. Progress is optional. -Tony Robbins
In the meantime, I am stepping it up in the gym and in my running game as well. Meaning: I am starting to run again — albeit mindfully.
Faithful
Victory was ours today and these lucky fellows were there to witness it IRL.
Made with Love
It’s hard to describe the detail of this piece of artwork which I received from Carol (aka “Lil Sis”) for my 53rd birthday. There are multiple layers of cutouts, perfectly stacked to create a mandala like design. She added a battery operated light to it as well. It’s the sort of gift that you know was made with love…lots of it.
