Boston College Reservoir | Fire & Ice

Tempted to running little faster, quickly reminded to take my time, I am locked in and dreaming closing in on the most miles ran in 20 years. I can't think not about my health, my diet the goal is to be injury free before October 1st. This is the second week since Coach Average BROE has had the campers for the Boston XC Camp meet at the  Boston College Reservoir. The Chestnut Hill reservoir another name for the 1.55 loop located right next to Cassidy Playground in Coolidge Corner, where Boston, Brookline and Newton town lines meet. 

First warmup and mile into the run I finally started getting some decent pace and felt like I was following the workout as planned. At this stage of my progression I am discovering and trusting the art of pacing, learning how to cruise at steady pace, while focusing on my diaphragm as well as my glutes. 

Not only was today was a good workout for everyone in attendance the "Illumanti" got paid. The Illumanti is the name of group of boys on the Boston Pubic Schools City Wide XC Cross Country Team who are very good friends.  First pay check of the summer, i knew there was going to be some binging going down because this kids have "disposable" income. I suggest we celebrate like Adults and young adults and take the festivities to Fire & Ice Interactive Grill & Bar.

Fire & Ice was a good time, full of laughs and good foods. Victor Baez Jr, a junior at Charlestown High School member of the team says " A twenty Dollar well spent". I couldn't agree, more. My wife (Petruvna) met me at the restaurant and missed the first wave of destruction as the boys created the greatest Bacon & Cheeseburger. This experience is a memorable one, team bonding with my guys outside of running and training is special. Looking forward to more outings such as this one, for Petruvna and I Fire & Ice always provides us with that nostalgic feeling. I am confident that my squad will keep the tradition going.

“As the saying goes, it’s dangerous to set your goals short because you might achieve them,” I’m trying to think extremely big and set a goal that’s extremely high above myself in order to continue to elevate and continue to be motivated.” - Jon Jones

“I know that I have three or four big fights in front of me to be considered one of the greatest of all time,” I want to earn that honor. I’m starting to believe I really can be the greatest fighter of all time. I’m taking that thought — greatest fighter of all time — and I’m breaking it down, and I’m breaking it into one opponent at a time.” - Jon Jones  via via MMAJunkie
