Today was just an ordinary day. You know, that kind of day when you spend a few hours conversing with one of the most famous coaches in all of distance running in the world. Like I said ordinary. Class this morning was mesmerizing. I mean, listening to man who has coached Ryan Hall, Deena Kastor, Meb Keflezigh, Olympic Teams, National Champions, and so many more for me to even name. Every few minutes I would have to make sure to blink so that he would know that I was alive, instead of just staring mindlessly in awe at him! He talked to us about training at altitude, optimizing your diet to be a champion, and the most important key of all of distance running....belief in yourself. Another cool statistic...he told us that running is the one thing in the entire world that has unified people disregarding race, religion, ethnicity, etc above all others! This class was incredible. I hope that everyone has the chance to hear that man speak. For the rest of the day, I did my shake out, lifted, and got a big care package from my darling mother :). What a treat :). In a few hours, I am heading out for my real run with some friends and then watching GAME 1 of the NBA finals. On the menu tonight? Who knows? Spontaneity at its finest.
Until then...keep the fire burning. (shout out to you Laura Miller)
