Does waking up excite you?

Does waking up feel like a chore?

Hit the snooze repeatedly?

Can’t wait for your alarm to go off?

Going to bed early to get adequate rest is one of the most elusive habits for adults.

There will always be exceptions, and unpredictable issues keeping us awake later, but on average, we should be in control of the rest of our time.

What do you want to accomplish this morning?

It’s your final 5k of the 2016 Cross Country season.

One option is to surpass your personal best time of 31:35.

Another option is to break 30 minutes.

Another option is to not be the last team finisher.

Yesterday.

 

One text is worth a 1,000 words.

Previous best was 8:35.

Huge improvement.

By the way, as a Baby Boomer, the main theme for our improvement, is maintaining our health after we reach an elevated state (compared to our “previous health before our lifetime commitment began”).

11 months ago you couldn’t run 100 meters

Windermere Prep Cross Country 2016
Almost go time for all (boys and girls) JV runners.

 

Windermere Prep Cross Country 2016
Runners to your mark…

 

Windermere Prep Cross Country 2016
Go.

 

Windermere Prep Cross Country 2016
You’ve learned the multiple benefits of making your first mile your slowest.

 

Windermere Prep Cross Country 2016
Next up, you’ll learn how to maintain the second mile pace without falling off the first mile pace. First mile in 10:30 was 30 seconds ahead of target time (11 minutes). Fell slightly off pace by 17 seconds but still netted a 43 second gain against 2-mile game-plan.

 

Windermere Prep Cross Country 2016
You’re learning to gradually pick up your pace over the last 800 meters. Finish line is one minute away.

 

Windermere Prep Cross Country 2016
Well under your previous PR of 33:40.

 

Remember 11 months ago you couldn’t run 100 meters?
