We had other plans for the night, but after multiple pounds of king crab legs, prime rib, veal short ribs and lots of other goodies we decided to go to the room and call it a night. Once we touch down in Phoenix today, the plan is still to work off some of this excess weight with yet another treadmill workout with Hilary to make up for the one I missed this morning. The goal is to make this a speed workout and average 8 minute miles for the duration of the run. To put a cherry on top of the teaching week for Hilary, I am going to show her a lower body routine that includes exercises beneficial for running, such as step ups, or single leg hamstring and quad extension machines. We work out at different gyms, so I can only hope I've given her the tools to pursue her training for the next four months or so. I'm looking out over my view of the Las Vegas strip sad that I'm leaving, but happy to be heading towards my home, and my running partner Skittles.
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ... " -Matthew 6:1-7
