Have you ever seen that movie The Rookie? It's the one with Dennis Quaid who is coaching a high school baseball team and realizes he can still throw the ball real hard, so he joins the majors. Well, in one scene, if memory serves, he stops along side the road where there is a police radar that shows what speed you're driving. Then he throws some baseballs in the direction of the radar and they get clocked at and around 100 mph. Not knowing how those things work, I wondered whether or not they could actually pick up the speed of a tiny ball if they're designed to measure the speed of a much larger vehicle in comparison. I even wondered if they could capture the speed of a person running. So I decided to test the theory out about the runner this morning because there was one set up half a mile away from my house. I got out in the bike lane and nothing. Then I moved over into the street, and it registered me at 7 mph. I'm probably the only one who thinks that's cool.
There's a couple I often see walking their dogs when I'm running. I haven't named them yet because the only thing I can come up with is Poor-Lady-With-Big-Dog and Fat-Slob-With-Tiny-Dog. But that just seems too long. I think I've trained them well because Poor-Lady-With-Big-Dog said good morning at the same time I did.
Last week I only ran 14 miles. I convinced myself that it was okay because I need to rest some after the marathon. The problem is, it was my birthday week, and I've been eating a lot of junk food. So when I jumped on the scale this morning I was at 205. But after I ran I was at 199. Not too bad, I guess.
