Easy run before work today with my dad. We ran a loop in the greenbelt (around Northridge Rec Center) around 6:30 am. Man, my dad has some serious running talent. He's nearly fifty, and undoubtedly can run 6:30's for a decent length run. I think that if he trained hard, he could definitely run 36ish (or below) in a 10k. At 50 I think that is real impressive. He never truly trained throughout HS or College, rather ran for fun (3-milers twice or three times a week) to just enjoy himself. I know that he is somewhat dissapointed he didn't ever try to run competitively (with his ability he would have been good), but to some extent I think he lives vicariously through my running. I plan on running hard to explore this world for us both...we'll see where it goes!
I will aquajog later tonight |
