Being Human is Painful and So Are Rainy Day Workouts!

It was painful to watch as Jordan Spieth melted down with a quadruple bogie on the 12th hole of the final round at the Master's today, blowing what seemed like an insurmountable lead. It was painful to watch him almost fall over as he, as last year's champion had to put the green jacket on eventual champion Danny Willett's back. It was also painful to watch him stand and answer questions from the media about "How does it feel..." Like crap, that is how it feels. But it was also a valuable reminder that many of our greatest athlete stars are human... Cam Newton showed us that after the Superbowl. Today Jordan Spieth showed us that on the 12th hole at Augusta.

Today it dumped rain today in Tucson. All day. As you may know our workout area is outside here and when it rains hard, it is not really usable at all. So that meant leg day moved inside and was another metabolic workout. And, as usual... some of the shorter duration workouts are the most painful!
