Friday~The Final Push

Coach Fraley would always tell me to run through the tape.

Many runners would start slowing down at the tape but coach Fraley always wanted me accelerating through the tape.

Often in practice he would have me run 10 yards beyond the finish line so it was a habit to run through and not slow down at the finish line.

“Boy, ordinary runners slow down at the finish line, you are extraordinary…in fact darn right peculiar at times”, he would often say with a chuckle in his gruff voice.

It’s Friday, be peculiar and run through the tape, in fact sprint.  You will not only finish this week off strong but you will enter next week with momentum.

Finish strong!  You will like it and before you know it, finishing strong will be a habit!

Happy Friday!
