Redux from last year... Watched part II of the HBO documentary "TIGER", about golfer Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest golfer of all-time, and one of the greatest competitors of all-time in any sport.  I am a big believer in and huge fan of second chances and comebacks.  At 2019 Masters Tournament, after battling health and personal turmoil for a decade, Tiger is challenging for the win going into the final round.  Commentator remarks how many of the young current top golfers grew up idolizing Tiger Woods and dreamt of wanting to go head to head with Tiger Woods in the final round of a major tournament.  Commentator follows with "the f*#k you do...you have no idea what you are getting yourself into".

hills

"... hill training is beneficial because, when going uphill, you have more engagement of motor units - the bundles of muscle fibers that ignite while running.  This enhances muscular strength and endurance.  You also likely engage a portion of your core more when running uphill because every time you push your legs harder into the ground, your core must stabilize to compensate for the tilt... (also) pushing yourself up a hill helps you produce more power as opposed to sprinting on flat surfaces." - Tom "Tinman" Schwartz
