Early morning bike ride, 30.22 miles. Converted to 7.5 cross training miles. *Note, cross training is not equivalent to running, whatever the conversion method. But, good cross eases the transistion back to running. I have the cardio endurance to run easy for hours, the issue is getting the running legs back.
Running Shorts: My running mind has gone. I am starting to miss some of the odd things that go with running:
Black Toe Nails - loose one every year at St.George
Schaffing - now we all have special spots for this one, (no details needed) easy to get, hard to heal
Sweaty Runners - passing running that are sweating so much that sweat is spraying like a garden hose.
Potty Stops at a Moments Notice - No detail needed for this one
Blisters - knowing you have a blister, but, you can't stop, cannot not lose that 30 seconds off your marathon time.
Weaving - if weaving around runners could make a rug, I would have several special rugs.
Lead Dead legs - That special feeling when you are more than done in a race. No matter how hard you try, your just done.
Yelling at Cars - Now this one is an odd thing to miss, giving the finger (have not gone that far), but have yelled at a number of drivers over the years.
Race Course Measured Wrong - Now, how many races are too long or short, in the world of garmins, we all have an opinion.
Race time being off a few seconds - Big running decision, go with the race director time, or use your own clock time? We check the results over and over, searching for the answer to the time warp.
Age Division Fu Fus - Placing outside of the top three in your division, but your time would have won two younger divisions, go figure.
Your almost there - with only 4 miles left, spectators without a sense of distance.
Searching for The Magic Running Shoe - The quest for the shoe that will fly.
Stay Kool, have great week training, B of BS Rools out
