WEEK SIX
Requirements for Week Six: Four days of jog* 10 min. then walk fast 5 min.; repeat once.

Things I Find Myself Saying When I'm Feeling Oxygen-Depleted:
1.
Walk with both legs.
2.
You get to go down
All the hills you go up
If you don't die.
3.
Keep your mind on where you're going.
Pay attention to where you are.
Take the time to wipe the sweat from your eyes.
4.
You won't get there crying.
