Road Warrior Or Road Kill
My body is going through an incredible period of change and it has decided to take my mind and spirit along for the ride. I wasn’t too excited when four extra weeks had to be added to my training schedule, but I have some serious flaws in my running technique that needs to be corrected before they become ingrained habits. I keep trying to convince myself that I would be as swift as the wind, if it wasn’t for the drag of my large head. In actually the real problem has been some of my discombobulated running techniques. My aim is to work with my body and not against it. When I pump iron I can be violent and passionate at the same time. I give until it takes me to that place of blissful pain.
In running, I have to change my attitude, the steel ovaries to the wall approach doesn’t work. I have to hold back, find the rhythm, romance the pace. I have to hunt for that sweet spot and then go with the flow. Granted most running training sessions leave me feeling like a frustrated honeymooner.
Today, we ran a smooth 6 miles, it was the first run I ever accomplished without feeling like road kill. I tell you there is potential in this old body, I wouldn’t complain if the hand of G-d assisted me in pulling it out. The weather was breezy, and slightly chilly but the sun was shining brightly so it felt good. I am indeed blessed to be able to do what I do so I shouldn’t ever complain. I do complain, because I am wonderfully flawed, but I really shouldn’t. The second leg of my training found me under the bar. It was leg and core day so we had a fairly intense session. It was indeed a good training day.
Run toward the dream everyone and be blessed
