this acknowledgment is long overdue
paul completed an EPIC running event a couple of months back
i'm still marvelling at the feat
(and in his typically humble way, he is quick to brush it off-as if it never happened)
months of preparation
running
resistance training
strength work
endurance exercises
trialling different types of fuel; last year what he had made him physically ill
positivity in abundance
:: 100 kilometres ::
he came in to each checkpoint smiling
he looked fresh and excited
eleven hours of continuous running
right at the end he missed a turn and inadvertently added a few extra km's
but he came through the finish line grinning like the cheshire cat
i think you might call that a good day at the office
