Coach,
Namaste! Much to report on the Escarpment Trail Race last Sunday, but first a quick WF moment. We had our company summer office outing on Tuesday, and I attended with my boyz. Among other attractions (swimming pool, tennis courts, sailboats, four kinds of beer on ice) there was a golf driving range. Older son Lucas decided his day would not be complete without hitting a golf ball for the first time. We went to the clubhouse, got a couple of clubs and a bucket of balls, and headed out to hack. Worth mentioning that I have played golf <10 times in my life, the last time was 15 years ago, and I really sicked. I gave my son a few things to focus on, and told him "Watch my swing, but don't pay attention to where the ball goes ('cause I figured it wasn't going far). I drew the club back, swung through, and looked up to see an absolutely perfect shot flying through the sky! Thinking "whew, got lucky", I helped Lucas with his swing for a few minutes, then threw another ball down, drew back, and WHACK...another perfect shot! I ultimately hit 25 balls, and 23 of them were perfect, repeatable, balanced swings. The thought came in a flash..."let's see, body is in balance, mind is focused, range of motion is strong but supple...yup, it's WF in action". It was the same feeling I had last winter, when I skied for the first time in 20 years. Man, it is fun to have a well-trained body / mind.
Love,
Student L'Gate
