GRIND

In an unscientific poll, we at Peachtree Road Boot Camp have determined that absolutely no one likes to get out of bed before 6am.

We roll out of bed, get dresses and get to the workout because we like the effect produced by extensive exercise. We also enjoy the company. Because we work out most days at a conversational pace, the workout is very social.

Some mornings, the energy level of the group is down and the pack barely moves. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Occasionally, everyone sleepwalks through the workout and tries to do as little as possible.

Today was one of those days. It was like herding cats through molasses. At least the crowd was big.

Days in a row work better than anything we have come across. We have played with this for decades. Daily exercise works. EVERY DAY. In the last 50 days, I have cut my honest 5K race effort from 20 minutes to 18 minutes. Anyone can cut it down with daily discipline.
