Until the afternoon. Not a lot of site updates today, but that is just a cyclical thing, I suppose. I’m sure tommorrow everyone will post twice

So, Keohan and I went to swim. We did 8 25m sprints…all out. We did them in two sets of 4, and were dizzy after each set. The, we busted out 200m in about 5 minutes. Because we were going to run hills, we called it a workout in the pool.

Keohan wasn’t feeling well, so I went off to run some hills on my own. In Centennial Park, there’s a hill that’s about 100m long at about a 30 degree incline. I sprinted up, and walked down 10 times.

I was spent. Wind sprints are an entirely different world, and I really wished I had started them sooner. Oh well, now I know

On other fronts, I read about half of Dean Karnazes book last night, talk about inspiring stuff. Anyway, I took it upon myself to email him, just to say thanks for being an inspiration, and tell him that we were following in his footsteps in racing for charity. This is an email I had in my inbox when I got home today:

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the terrific note. Any inspiration that I may have provide you has definitely been reciprocated when I read what you are doing. Keep up the great work! I applaud your effort, and never give up.

All the best,

Dean Karnazes

What? He actually went to the site, and emailed me back. This guy has achieved rock star status in my world, and I can’t tell you how happy it made me to have him respond. This will be great inspiration for my 5am workout tommorrow.
