What's Torp gonna do now???

Bon Voyage ladies of the PG!! We're off to the Bahamas!!

What will Torp do now??? Concentrate? Maybe work harder? Count correctly? Add weight when she's supposed to?

NAH she'll find something else to entertain herself. Stay tuned!

Also, I just received an e mail from Janice and she wanted to share that she just wore a size 6 jeans!!! Paleo rocks and so does Janice!!

Advanced aerial yoga

         This is really getting strange!

Learn something every day

Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to "coast" during a race??  You tell yourself, "just go, run like it's just another training day, it will be fine".  Or you're about to start a wod and you just want to, "get through it"....and then it happens....

I was at the Roosa Gap 5K and I asked Barb Ferrante to ride her bike next to me because she has a stress fracture.  I figured we'd talk and just have a nice easy run and catch up.  WOW I was waaaay off! 

Barb got in "coach" mode and started taking this race like the Olympics!  Pick up your feet! Relax your breathing! Quicker steps you're slowing down!  (sound familiar) All of a sudden this became VERY important.  I changed every thought in my head.  I could NOT let Barb down.  She was in the zone and I desperately wanted to knock her off her bike but at the same time I just let her take over.  Her intense coaching and her absolute belief in me made me want to give my all. It was a watershed (can you tell we are in SAT mode) moment!!  Wake up you loser and race to the best of your ability TODAY.  I always tell athletes, "if you go to a race....then race!"  Well, I raced.  It wasn't pretty but let me tell you, it was awesome!!  THANK YOU BARB! 

Keeps getting better!

Here are our friends "pole dancing". I believe Torp has started to pick up speed now!!

          Then I come home to this....

+Chet said, "they are wrestling".  Is that what we're calling it these days?? 

The NORMAL people that train at the PG may have to hold an intervention soon!

T shirts are in!

The PG has new T-shirts. We have a limited number so if you want one please let me know!!

$20 each or 2 for $30

The white look much better than this!
