CM,
I want you to run 1 mile 3 times. Start at the house and run a mile, on the slower side, but run.
wait 2 minutes before repeat your next effort.
I want you to run mile #2 45 seconds faster than #1.
Rest 2 minutes
run mile 3 in a sprun - you need to be AT LEAST 45 seconds faster than mile #2.
done
The Equipment:
This week has been a big week for Playground and all that have been involved with what we do. After yesterday, I promised to go back to the funny with today's post. I sent out the assignment to the team and awaited their reply, hoping everyone could show so I could post something about our running dysfunction...like this:
When the morning came, we were only 3 strong so the above didn't work . (this is where I got to before the day got away from me, so let's pause for 16 hours...)
(Ok, Scene: Its now Sunday morning, Household is awake but quiet. Kids are watching cartoons, wife is taking pictures of them in 1billion different angles, coffee in hand and I have finally been able to sleep for more hours than I have thumbs)
Saturday was a daunting task for me. 6:30 Workout, 8:00 haircuts for me and the dude (That's one of Aiden's nicknames) 9:00 plumber arrival to fish out the toys in the toilet and fix a leak in the tub, Breakfasts and lunches for everyone, naps and playtimes, then work until 11:00. And I achieved all of this with rubber bands for legs.
The run was good. Our splits were 11:03, 10:06, and 9:01, with the last 50 yards a full sprint to the end. I was out of breath and unwilling to sit down for fear of not being able to get back up. There was too much to do.
I also had a quick conversation with Sully about the workouts and he brought up a term that I think needs more definition. Its a term I heard at work one time and it left me head tilted like a dog being scolded. I was told I was "BOSSING IT". Let's break this down: What does it mean to Boss it? (its a good topic to discuss as I don't have much material about the run...we ran, we finished, blah, blah, blah)
Who is the boss, Tony Danza:
This couldn't be right because we all know Angela was the true boss in that scenario:
Maybe they mean Donald Trump:
This too couldn't be it as the I think the term was to be cool, not old, with a weave and willing to trade your family away for money. So, I'm stuck a bit on this; Is its Hella cool? Is it wicked Awesome? Is it Justin Bieber?
No, its not a Canadian term either...The it hit me! Who is "The Boss"? Hell it's Bruce Springsteen! Of course! American made, kills it when he plays, an icon. It was everything I thought the person meant when they told me I "bossed" it. So, now when you are told by a juvenile That your are "Boss", smile and thank them because this is what they are implying you are:
Oh yeah, I looked up the proper response in that instance and apparently you are supposed to name song lyrics in appreciation. Something like, "Thanks man, I'm blinded by the light. Cut loose like a duce, another runner in the night."
Or "Pink Cadillac. Crushed velvet seats. Ridin' in the back. Cruisin' down the street"
Class dismissed. See you Monday...
BOOM
