I hope you enjoyed the humorous narrative that was my first run. I'm here because I have almost 4 complete weeks of training under my belt and I have VALUABLE lessons to share with you. You know, in case you are considering torturing your body in such an exquisite way.
Lesson One:
Remember the errant saddlebags and knees? Let's just say they are assimilated. For you Trekkers (by the by, 'Trekkers' does not cause a spell-check red flag - we geeks have come a long way), they are in the collective. However, and I stress this, my lungs and heart are still in full rebellion. They have banded together to stage a coup. They are trying very hard to keep my saddlebags around. My saddlebags must have a great personality.
Lesson Two:
If you get cocky about how well you are doing, run your routine in reverse. Today I discovered that I HAD been running downhill most of the way. Reversing the routine, well, it changed my paradigm. And gave my heart and lungs a bit of a tactical advantage...
Lesson Three:
I decided to mix up the play list a bit. I added a U2 album to my running playlist. U2 makes music for motion. The guitar player plays like he's on the move. I want to jump into a convertible and get my Grace Kelly scarf flowing to their music. If people in a horror movie had U2, they'd get away EVERY time.
Lesson Four:
Wind and humidity are evil.
That is all.
