Do you ever think about stuff that you really don't need? Why do we keep it around? We need to learn to practice elimination, but more on that in a second.
The boys and I were at it again today. Oh yeah, they had the old coach training and working with them. I may have surprised one of them with the fact that I wouldn't quit. They joined me at the appointed time and after I had completed two miles. We had a blast and worked hard today.
As we were finishing up with our stretching in the cool down I asked them if they were going to keep coming. They all agreed so it was time for the "talk". Yes sir, the official "talk" about some of the stuff that you need to eliminate in order to be the athlete you are designed to be.
I'm not sure if they were sold. We talked about eliminating sodas completely from the diet, cutting the Gatorade/Powerade by diluting it with water, watching the sweets, and not just sitting around after workouts.
Good plan for athletes in training. Elimination is also a good plan for Jesus - followers. I bet it wouldn't take long to develop a list of "stuff" we might not need. Like bad attitudes, unhealthy opinions about people, maybe even unforgiveness, and you-take-your-pick of pet sins.
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind (that's elimination) and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14
Today: 2.66 miles, dynamic stretch, sprint workout: 10 hills straight, 8 hills side, agility ladders, and "easy" intervals - 10 burpee - sprint 10 yds, 10 pushups - sprint 10 yds, 10 squat jumps - sprint 10 yds, 10 mountian climbers (10 sets), Stretch and talked elimination.
