Bomber Inspiration

Hi All,

Just wanted to drop a quick note about the staying power of the wisdom of our very own Coach Houk. I fell off the fitness wagon when I went into the workforce and recently I decided that I needed to whip my butt back into shape so I signed up to do a Chicago 1/2 marathon this September as a motivation tool (since I don't have Houk's grids these days to do the trick). I started training last week and since I am so wickedly out of shape, I start to feel droopy after a mile or two, but instead of walking and instead of turning around to go home, I remembered and followed the voice of Coach screaming at all of us doing suicides and, with her face turning red, shouting "SAVE NOTHING!!!!!!!"

I will always 'save nothing'. Thanks Coach.
