Tom Bertram cranked out the fastest time of the day in a blistering 9:58 in the midday sun. A big welcome back to Wags, fresh off his pleasure cruise.

A couple of observations. You can't jump very high on a mattress, and for the same reason, you can't squat/deadlift/press very well wearing running shoes. Simple matter of physics, too much energy absorbed in the cushioning making the movement inefficient.

Second point. We all have much more to gain from tackling our weaknesses headlong than from refining our strengths. This applies to more than just our physical performance or appearance. The intangible aspects are at least equally valuable. From the courage we muster to tackle our weaknesses, to the confidence we gain from our sense of accomplishment as we develop that blunted capacity, those intangibles are just as real, and just as relevant to our daily lives as our improved physical capacity.

Hang Tough,
