You know, on those days when I think, “Whew! I had a pretty good workout today!” and start feeling a little proud of myself, all I have to do to bring myself back down to earth is talk to my friend Becky.
We lifted together yesterday afternoon. It was a hard workout and completely filled the hour we had allotted. There was not a lot of time for chit-chat and my arms and legs were complete noodles when we finished.
Ho-hum. Becky had already been for a five mile run early in the morning. But wait! There’s more! Following our workout, she led a two-hour triathlon training session, in which she and the participants ran, swam, cycled, and did some core work and a “little” weight-lifting. She ran an additional 3½ miles, cycled 30 minutes (all uphill), swam over a half mile, and oh, by the way, did 250 crunches.
You now understand why, when we go out to eat, I order the salad and the grilled chicken breast and she orders the jumbo buttermilk waffles with a breakfast burrito on the side. And dessert, which she will not share.
