Boston Marathon!! What a proud coach I am!

This past weekend was the Boston Marathon. If you didn’t know that get out from under that rock!! The most famous marathon in the world. I am so proud of all my runners! You all did great and are such an inspiration to me. Everyone worries about missing a day of training, or falling off schedule. Well, the absolute truth is that no one ever runs a program with out missing days here and there. It is just impossible. I always tell my athletes to finish what you start, to never give up, and never regret anything. If there’s one thing I can’t stand or understand is when someone has the balls to say “Oh, I think I could have pushed harder, or I wasn’t even tired at the finish” Then they are upset about their time!! It pisses me off!! I tell everyone if they think they can go faster and the finish is 4 miles away, then DO IT!! Go for it! Now there are obvious exceptions to this , for example if someone simply has a fun goal to finish. Then you have to be smart. Ok, you get the idea. So, I will say that all my runners really ran smart races and stuck to their race plans. No could have, should have, would have. I really respect that. They didn’t all pr, but they all finished what they started and raced smart. I had 1 PR for the day! Chad Shepard of Vermont. This guys middle name is hardcore!! Other congrats go out to Courtney, Tania, Matt, and Shawn!!  To anyone who had a tough day out there in Beantown, check out this video. Keep your chin up and know that your day will come.  Cut and paste this and turn this shit up!!
