Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Excited to have track workout number four this morning.
If the “healthy” feet stay healthy, and i don’t succumb to overdoing it, there’s a chance for a little Masters Magic this Track season.
PS. Officially registered (800 & mile) yesterday for the May 30th Central Florida Gliders Youth/Open meet at Lake Brantley High School.
Competition is simply a carrot out in front to keep the motivation alive.

The 2015 World Relays began yesterday, May 2, 2015 in the Bahamas.
The day before that, i had the third, and most inspiring track workout of the year – and in the past ten years.
But it wasn’t at a track. It was on the sidewalk adjacent to the Tibet Butler Nature Preserve near Walt Disney World.
On the shady side of County Road 535, on the sidewalk 12 x 400 meter intervals were run (listed in seconds):
106, 103, 103, 96, 94, 93, 93, 89, 89, 90, 86, 83
Walked 400 meters back to the starting line, about four minutes, rest between each.
One mile jog warmup. Followed by four pretty slow warmup up 400’s. Then progressively faster 400’s. The goal was 90 seconds each.
The last one of the 12 was intently the fastest.
Be amazed and be amazing.

You can make a lot of progress if you do this one thing:
Keep making slow and steady progress.
In yesterday’s 7-mile run, edit out the first slow warmup mile, and the last two slower cool down miles.
What’s in the middle is the real story. Four progressively faster miles.
And it is the last mile in the official workout (excluding warmup/cool down) that the real story comes alive.
Dropping a 6:23 on the final mile.
Wow.
A seriously delightful surprise.
Quite motivating.

The goal of running is to see what we are humanly capable of.
And to use our body in a way that goes back to the origin of mankind.
Running is how we escaped danger.
Running is how we caught food.
Modern day running is how we found joy on the playground.
Remember?
Yesterday’s track workout:
Felt some mild shine pain during 400’s and decided to slow the pace and increase the distance, hence the 800’s.

Today will be track workout number two of 2015.
Kinda like the start of a new school year, back in the day when we were kids.
Will most likely run on the sidewalk again, in the shadows of Universal Studios.
Will park at Gold’s Gym, and run to this location as a warmup, then run back to Gold’s for a gym workout.
