I'm just curious...... Who else is just routinely doing 100 push ups almost everyday now since we finished the 4th Quarter challenge? Like, its just part of the work out habitually?

Hope you are all well just adding a little fun 🤩

Week 27 feels different. Not longer . Not faster . Just honest. If Week 26 was about grit, this week is about perspective. We’re far enough into the year now that the routine has set in. The long runs are no longer shocking your system. The early alarms don’t surprise you. Running has quietly become part of who you are again — not an event, not a challenge, just something you do. And that’s powerful. Because here’s the reality check: most people stop right about now. Not because they can’t continue — but because it’s no longer exciting. The transformation isn’t instant. The scale doesn’t move dramatically. The pace improvements are subtle. The outside validation fades. This is the crossroads. You either need excitement to continue…or you decide you don’t. Week 27 is about choosing depth over drama. Summer is inching closer. Race calendars are filling. And when those starting lines arrive, they won’t care about your motivation in February. They’ll reflect your discipline. The work you’re doing right now is quiet equity. It’s an investment. It doesn’t feel glamorous depositing small efforts week after week — but when the moment comes, you’ll withdraw strength, confidence, and durability. This weekend, instead of asking, “How far do I have to go?” Ask, “are you being who you said you wanted to be” Maybe your run isn’t the fastest.Maybe it isn’t the longest.Maybe it’s simply steady. Steady wins seasons. There’s something grounding about Week 27. It reminds us that running isn’t just about chasing big miles — it’s about building a steady engine. A calm mind. A body that knows how to endure. No fireworks needed, No grand speeches. Just RUN The miles are shaping you, even when they feel ordinary. And "ordinary effort" , repeated long enough, becomes extraordinary strength. SO We keep going. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

If we already hit this…my bad. Curious what you all do for cross training, and why/what benefits you like that it provides. I’m going through a lifeguard course for work, and the swim tonight was torturous. But as I sat there on the pool deck hoping my soul would return from its out of body journey, I realized I had one of the most intense full leg pumps I’ve ever experienced. I’m planning to incorporate some swimming in the training plan and see how/if it does anything.
