Of Love. Of Fitness. Of Competition.
As I peruse the local training logs it is gratifying to see there are people I’ve never met using the programs I introduced to Nebraska. I’m not taking credit for the brilliance of Jim McLatchie, just happy to see that so many people now understand the benefits of his method of high level training. Wasn’t always this way, a lot of detractors originally. They’re called converts (and coaches, ha!) these days. And while I wasn’t the architect I’ve certainly been the loudest proponent of my original coaching mentor. It was never a secret, never presented as some magical training paradigm, simply couched in hard work set up in proper sequencing. Just like Killer Coach, McMillan, Hansons, Jack Daniels, Maffetone, and every other successful program.
With no drugs. Right doc?
I’ve got a couple of 72 flats started, this spring’s groceries. Rhubarb Chard, Rainbow Chard, Bright Lights Chard, Charlotte Chard, Savoy Spinach, Corvair Spinach, Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach, Harmony Spinach, Muir Lettuce, Nevada Lettuce, Winterbor Kale, Mizuna Mustard Greens, and Primero Cabbage. Round one then is cool weather greens. In another week or so I’ll start my peppers and beets and leeks and carrots and parsnips and turnips and sundry other root vegetables. And it won’t be long before the potato slips show up at Earl May. The best farmers are those that are best prepared. Hard work set up in proper sequencing. Just like successful running programs eh?
Strictly organic. Super foods. No hormones or any other foreign substances introduced. Right doc?
Mizuna and Kale fairly jumping up in the front, the chards awakening in back. Thanks to my boy Jason Zakaras for the sweet grow light that is kick starting these cruciferous comestibles.
Don’t forget to come by Peak Performance tonight to pick up your packet or register for the Two Rivers Twosome. There will be an extremely rare road race appearance by Ivan Marsh Saturday morning. A little tune up before he crushes the world at next weekend’s Trek up the Tower. The team competition looks to be hot with Long Distance Romance, K Squared, and No Couples Therapy all squaring off for bragging rights as Nebraska’s fastest couple.
