How To Destroy Yourself
A Novella by Lake Ann Dandy
Start by hanging out an extra 10 minutes talking to the mommies at your daughters school. Drive home as fast as you can in the rain. Race out the door and with no warm up bang out 3 miles at 6:41 pace to catch the group before they leave for their run. Don't make it on time. Have no idea which route they took. Take same route they took last week. Abandon any hope of catching group. Realize the negative effect what you have just done has on your body. Slowly begin to erode during the run in both mind and body. Finish 5.4 mile loop (incidentally not the same loop the group took) and see Nancy coming in. Begin 3 mile run back to house with Nancy at cool down pace. Go separate ways after 1 mile and finish with tongue dragging on the pavement.
1st 3 miles in 20:04 (6:41s). Next 5.4 in 40:01 (7:24s). Finishing 3 miles cool down in 23:22 (7:47s).
