15 with Blake this morning. It was good to have him back. I was trying to focus on rotating my pelvis from the spine. It was weird. I’ll need to try that again when I’m by myself and can focus a little more.

Then core.

I hope everyone has above Easter weekend.

Okay, so you and Blake have been running together for a while.

One day you show up and say "I'm going to try to focus on rotating my pelvis from the spine."

Blake's like "Um, maybe you do that on YOUR time. A treadmill would be good for that. Seriously."

You say "What? Don't make it weird, man. I'm going to run tall, keep my ears over my shoulders, lengthen my neck, keep my pelvis level, with a forward lean, body straight, lifting my heel, instead of pushing off with my toes, all while keeping my legs behind me, and ROTATING MY PELVIS FROM THE SPINE! IS THAT A PROBLEM?!"

Blake says "You have multi-tasking capabilities the rest of us can only dream of. I may just watch you do this, and skip the run today."

Just a guess of how this went.

Happy Easter!

That was exactly how it went down this morning! Hilarious stuff Tom. I need to save that post because it is a perfect consolidation of what I am trying to do. It was the first time we have run together since I started working on my form. I asked him if I looked like an idiot. Not sure if he was just being kind, but he claimed he couldn�t tell that I was doing anything different. Maybe I just always look like an idiot when I run.
