free coffee

Today in class we had deep conversations about Portland. Lots of transplants at the Gym we have to look out for them. It was decided that Beaverton is the safest but that you could potentially die from boredom. I’m from Beaverton so I think its ok for me to agree with that comment. On the topic of marathon training, Nathan said that Oprah had the best trainer in the world and that’s why his money is on Oprah. What’s ironic is that I think his training is why I might have a chance against Oprah. He is going to loan me his GPS pace keeper watch so it can beep or shock me if I fall behind my pace. That should help. I may not work out next week to really taper. If my marathon is anything like today’s workout, I’ll go out in a 5minute first mile and finish the whole marathon in 6 hours. Actually, I think I’ll pace it pretty good. Last night we went to the ballet with kung fu monks. I’m not into ballet or kung fu but it was AMAZING. Those people are fit. They were my inspiration for today’s wod. Or at least for the first 30 ball slams. After that, I just wanted to stop and sneak out the back door. Ok, rumor has it Ristretto’s coffee house just opened on Williams and is giving away really good free coffee all day today. I’m outta here. J

Started out WAY too fast. That’s my signature move. Go out fast, die, fall to floor moaning and moving like joe cocker(that’s what Nathan calls me)
