Another Couch to Bacon update. Did I just say bacon? I meant chicken fingers.
My friend Victoria called me up yesterday wanting to go to the gym. After quickly talking her out of that, we agreed to meet up to "fast walk" the Back Cove. Which we did, kind of. We had the "walk" part down.
I won't even crack jokes about really, really wanting to run - but darn that bum leg.
It was a conscience restraint. My group run is tonight and if I've learned nothing else, it's to not overdo it.
Yes, yes. Laugh all you want. But it's a system that works for me. Two days in a row just doesn't work - if I ran yesterday I'd struggle today. And I don't want to struggle in front of the group (remember the "not-wanting-to-look-like-an-idiot" discussion we had at the beginning of this training?
Another lesson I learned? Even a saunter around Back Cove deserves a meaty reward.
Okay, okay - enough with the chicken! Back to the running tonight.
Hi Shannon:
You're pretty funny. That's part of what will make you a runner. You and the whole gang did a great job with the speed workout last evening. 4 x 800 meters is awesome! You are well on your way to being able to run 10 kilometers. Just seven more Thursday evening runs before Beach 2 Beacon. One of my favorite running quotes is "Success rests with having the courage, endurance and will to become the person you want to be, however peculiar that may be". the late Dr. George Sheehan, Redbank, NJ
