Running: June 14, 2010 - A Year to Find Out Why

     Running. Running? Yes, running. That's what I did this morning. At 6:11 am, I ran. And I ran, I ran so far away, and I ran, I ran both...WAITAMINIT! God, a Duran Duran song....jeeze...frigging '80s. Anyway, I started running. I have this "lofty" goal to run a 20K. This time next year (6/4/11), I want to finish the Dam to Dam 20K run in under 2 hours.
     So, I began my training with some light stretching at home, drove Brennan and Noah to the High School for football training...and ran home. I measured the distance with the car on the way to the school...1.1 miles. That means I just need to go another 11.1 miles and I'll have a 20K.

     Today's run of 1.1 miles was accomplished in 10:01. Not bad for a guy who DOES NOT run (unless I am on fire...). Pulse at the end of the run: 156. Is that bad? 12 minutes later: 104. Meh? It'll get better. A little more light stretching and off to the shower.

Later folks....
