Today, I Run
Today, I Run

Today, I run.

I run for health. For that calm alertness to follow.  Sometimes it ‘s controlled, deliberate and precise. Other days, done with abandon — the clock be damned! Just go! Push!  Whatever comes, I will be high all day. Work and conversation smoother, food tastier, slumber a bit sweeter. Its own reward.

I run because that is the time to simply be. Time when there is no room to lament  the past; no time to worry about the future. No time to call or sit or text or e-mail. This is the time, my time, to move, to breathe, to strive. To struggle. To count, tally, record. To embrace the gift of being.

To send that primitive message to the mind: That we moved today. We wandered, pursued, hunted. We were chased, maybe. And we survived. Like those before us, who made us, who are us. We ran.

And we might need to be just a little faster, go a little farther tomorrow. So, make sure we’re ready. Adapt. Make us go faster, farther.

So tomorrow, I run.

 
 
Seen a lot of slim chicks posting their

workouts on here so I thought I'd join 

the fun
Warning : I will bully every one of you

into daily stretches, plyo drills, crazy 

intervals, lifting heavy weights and 

epic long runs
104 °F.....  As my Grandma says, 

"Marathon training ain't for p*ssies."



Crazy old lady is right.

RUNNERS. Self diagnosing since The Internet.
At mile 20 I thought I was dead.  At mile 22 I wished I was dead.  At mile 24 I knew I was dead.  At mile 26.2 I realized I had  become too tough to kill.
Some days I run to LOSE myself, other days I run to FIND myself. But most days I run because I want to add to my t-shirt and "bling" collections!
Be straight with me Doc. When you say "broken" does that mean I SHOULD or  SHOULD NOT run my race this  weekend?
