This morning, I successfully turned the "Seminary Stride" into the "Seminary Stroll." There are some things that a Red-Bull and a Whatchamacallit just can't compensate for.
Though there were no "flashes of brilliance" on this run, I did improve on my previous time by a full minute (from 35:49 to 34:11). It's all about the baby steps.
I feel my primary accomplishment was not calling it quits after the guy pushing the stroller with two kids in it passed me at the 2 minute mark. And then again when one of my profs and his 11 yr old daughter breezed by me at the 1 mile marker.
If you are interested in joining me in my workout regimen, just follow these steps:
- Run a 5k
- Follow that with 7 1/2 months of inactivity
- The week before the race, run till the point of exhaustion for four days straight
- Follow that with 2 days of inactivity
- Run the race.
- Repeat.
To be continued . . .
