The Chise has Risen
If anyone has every listened to the Jim Rome radio show, you know what "The Chise" is all about. Those people can skip the rest of the paragraph. The Chise is the most important player on your team or league, the one that gets it done regardless. Scores the big goal, scares the competition, you know the drill.
Well, "The Chise" that lives in this house--Linda--finally got some recognition from her company. Even though she only worked 10 months last year, the knee recovery eliminated January and February, she was the top Lab Specialists in the US. Not in the top group, the top, the pinnacle, numero uno.... The LS's are measured on the amount of new start ups and the amount of money that those new installations earn, pretty simple math. Worked 10 months and took the money!! That is pretty cool. She would of had it last year too, but the knee work eliminated 2 1/2 months from her year. The award winners get a 5 day--all expense paid trip-- to Cabo in Mexico in June. The resort is on the Southern trip of Baja. Your spouse goes as well. I will do what I can to support The Chise. Plus I get to brag that I know The Chise and she likes me.
Congrats to The Chise, you earned this award.
I did some treadmill work this week, some was good and some was a little scary. I was staying at a hotel this week with some junk treadmills. One did not work and the other was a little difficult. I was going to do my normal fitness routine of a couple 4 minute 800 meter runs. I got warmed up and started to run and had nothing. Out of breath in 30 seconds and I really struggled. I thought it was humidity and the fact I ran the day before. The next day, same deal. WTH?? I had a really strong suspicion that the deck was not level. Since, I am an engineer, we carry weird tools and I have a compact digital level in my luggage. I checked the deck and it 2.5 degrees off level!!!! That does not sound like much, but it is a lot. Any deviation from 0 is a problem. Finally a reason for the difficulty. So, I slowed my pace and got a work out. Next trip I will use a different hotel. Fixed that problem.
It was warm enough to run outside yesterday, but too windy. Hopefully, I can get some outdoor running soon. I had to waste the sunshine we had yesterday. I did some yard work to make sure I got some sunshine on my body. Felt great.
