Day 5 is in the books....Why does McDonald's have an adult menu
and a kid's menu? That is so easy, if the adult does not want those enormous proportions,
then they can buy the smaller meal. Not really, but this happens all the time.
I see customers walk up and order a children's order and off they go, and they
sit in the car and gobble it down so no one can see--A. they saved a few bucks
and B. They just really don't want that amount
of food.
I was the guy on the
flip side that loved to super-size my meal--you order the regular adult meal,
say super-size me and a oversized fry and drink would be added to the main
course. As always I would finish the drink, but never the fries.
Well today was that
day--it was a super-size me type training day. I figured I knocked, 2 then 6
then 10 last week. So today I would increase right off the bat, 15 miles was my
goal. It looked so good from afar, it was within reach. I could just grab the
15 and place in my back pocket and go onto tomorrow with no problems. Too say
that was achieved is an understatement, my ambition and grit was in
check--weather perfect; 53, but 10 ended up being my magic number.
I felt like the
little tike that keeps asking his parent for the adult meal over and over--the
day finally comes and he gets his wish--adult plate is placed in front of him,
and only 3/4 is devoured. 1/4 left over becomes tomorrows mustgo meal of the night.
In life we look so
far ahead and get so ramped up, that we need sometimes to be guided back to
earth. Our passion is so strong and our determination is so strong, yet a
simple, small sized training session is exactly what the doctor ordered. So
today I did 10 miles walking for Erin. That is 10 miles for her, 10 miles for
her PINK family and it feels so good to have those 10 under my belt.
You see Erin, is the small portion in reality. She was
diagnosed in June of 2016, the day that changed her thoughts--that day I am
sure was overwhelming and terrifying as hell. Erin through small bites achieved
the greatest gift of all--she is alive today. January 17th--I think about what
she has been through, what she has overcome and see myself striving to give
100% to this cause and to run this 26.2 for the BIG E.
Here is a super link to Erin and her amazing desire to achieve more, give more and press on.
