| Flippin' tyres |
Day 211
This morning was 8am training with Erik Lee. With strong women Alana, Hyacinth and Rebecca. A bit of a walk at lunch time, and a few runs up and down the 120 stairs to the 7th floor office, mindful of the January Training Day for a stair running feature I'll be writing for this esteemed organ
'You girls have got to learn to kill yourselves'
'Do it with purpose, it's not a circus'
'Greatness is not available on discount'
Sometimes Erik utters something motivational and we all fall about. The quotes above are not quite right. I always vow I'll remember them and then by the time I sit here to record my training day I've forgotten those bons mots.
Another way Erik makes me set my jaw and try to 'beat myself up' is by waxing lyrical about the strength and fitness of the other women he trains, at other times. While I was flipping this tyre, quite happy with my 16reps/minute, he mused aloud about a woman who did 20 on her first try.
I tried to do 20, made it to 17 and now have a target.
This 52-year-old woman, who has just discovered she's to become a grandma, tries to beat some unknown 20-something, practically giving herself a rupture in the process. Still, we have to learn to kill ourselves.
