There’s a certain comfort I like to take in the kind of crazy that is a good PR day. And I’ll be honest: Drake Stadium at UCLA gives a real good PR Day. It’s technically a pyramid of stairs, doing the most reps in a row at the beginning and slowly taking one away until you finish back where you started.
It’s hard and feels like it’s never going to end for the first 60% of it, but once you see that daylight and realize the end is near, you shift into another gear and finish out the course real strong. PR Day stands for “Personal Record” but I also believe it can stand for “Powerful Resilience” and “Pain Resistance”. The next time we come back (we’re definitely coming back this place was the fucking shit) and you’re hunting for that new best time, you’re going to have to have those second two PR’s if you want that first PR. And you all have that inside of you.
So go forth and brag that today you PR’d (and put it on the tracker??) and tomorrow begins your next month of training so you can PR once more. If you ever hit a rut and feel like you’re working for nothing, that there’s no goal in mind and you’re losing the joy because you’re doing it just to do it or because you think you have to – remember you have PR day. That here at November Project we give you a reason at the end of every month to give a little more in the days leading up to it, and that the tribe is always going to show up with you to make sure you succeed.
That’s what I like to call magic. Do great, LA.
