The Chuck factor??

I'm doing the Haney to Harrison road race this weekend with my co workers. We have actually 2 teams going into it. As I was sitting at my desk, I overheard members of the other team talking about the "Chuck factor" at that moment I had vision of mad scientist on a white board trying to come up with some formulas. One of my co worker came over and ask me when was my last road race and my time. I told him that they could probably could look up my previous time from the race. I also asked him what was all the fuss about this "Chuck factor" he told me that his team needed to find out how fast they needed to run to negate my running time. I smiled and told him that they had great runners on their team and that they probably were giving me too much credit. I thought this was funny hence why I'm sharing this with you. It should be a fun Saturday. Cross season is coming back next week and I I'll be back at it. I came across a quote that I wanted to share with you all. I wish I could claim it as my own but that would be a lie. The quote is from Mohamad Ali and goes as follow:
"Champions are made from something,
They have deep inside them, a desire,a dream, a vision
They have last minute stamina,
They have to be a liitle faster
They have to have the skill and the will
But the will must be stronger than the skill"
Hope this quote will inspire you, happy trail!

Carpe Diem

P.s. I ran on the treadmill yesterday, did intervals. I would not want to disappoint on the run, wouldn't I......
