Meyrick Jones Racing: Training Update

"wise guys" quote:

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt, speech titled "Citizen in a Republic" delivered at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Everything you need is already inside.

- Bill Bowerman, co-founder of Nike, legendary coach, and father of the running movement.

Training Update

I am back at the training after two bouts of illness... the bronchitis is mostly gone - just a little coughing now...

Tomorrow I am skiing. Yes, it's true - in May - there is still lots of snow in the Callaghan Valley. Robin McKeever (a National Team coach) has invited me up for some coaching and training. I am quite excited to be invited (said the Cat in the Hat)... it is, however, an extremely hectic time with the move today and a baby due in 18 days. I will be skiing with a phone in my pocket and the car idling...
