Marathon Potential

Recently Patrick has decided to switch up his warm-up by adding a little bit of running to his repetoire. Since his warm-up is something that Patrick does on his own, I am generally not there to watch. However, I wanted to take a look at his gait and speed to see if any alterations needed to be made. So I decided to have him do a little bit of running during our session.

...So we choose a treadmill, Patrick groans about not wanting to run as he gets on the treadmill, and then we start the belt. Patrick graons some more as he imparts to me his displeasure at having to run again. As Patrick approaches an initially slightly uncomfortable running speed, the girl on the treadmill in front of him removes her shirt to reveal a very (very) small sports bra, which leaves not much to the imagination from behind (she is also wearing very tight, somewhat transparent spandex workout pants).

Suddenly, Patrick is in no rush to get off of the treadmill. He claims that he is willing to run longer in order to "challenge himself". Yeah, right! Im sure all of your friends know you a little better than that.

Anyway, if we can get the timing right and get on a treadmill behind this girl during every workout, Patrick might have the potential to become a marathon runner. What better motivation to run than running after the semi-naked girl in front of him???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Come on Patrick--a girl in tight spandex with a tiny running bra jogging right in front of you? That wasn't just a tad motivating?! I can just picture it, you running faster and faster the more layers she removed-- hey, whatever it takes, right?

Seriously, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! You have truly inspired me. Keep it up. I want to dance at YOUR wedding someday soon, eh? xxoo Lydia
