Yesterday was so small and yet so large

Windermere Running Club 2016 — 7am meeting at WPS High School, yesterday, June 6, 2016.

Breakfast at First Watch Folwer Grove — Celebratory breakfast afterwards.

Yesterday was so small and yet so large.

First day of the Windermere Runner’s Club summer program.

One-mile time trial in 9:50.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

It happens sometimes…roll with it

Thunderstorm near Disney World — Last night at 730pm.

It happens sometimes…roll with it looks good on paper.

Radar showed no rain at our High School, just three miles down the road.

And last night, a Tuesday, was a scheduled Track workout.

Our campus was dry and untouched by rain.

But we had to wait, as the clouds shifted direction.

Ultimately, after 15 minutes, we made the call to cancel.

It happens sometimes.

Roll with it.

It’s called real life.

It ain’t called theoretical life.

Theoretically, we should take good care of our health for our entire lifetime.

He’s rather run on Saturday nights

He’d rather run on Saturday nights.

Works for me.

A simple change made it a vastly different experience

A simple change made it a vastly different experience.

We warmed up and began the first interval like usual. Then i changed the distance and recovery periods to half of normal.

Shorter distance and recovery, but faster pace and quicker recovery.

We logged less distance, but ran slightly harder.

Quality over quantity.

It was fun to be there as he experienced the concept for the first time.

Imagine running three consecutive PR’s in one practice

Children statues — This would be easy to miss or ignore. But remember being a child flying a kite for the first time? That’s hard to ignore.

Imagine running three consecutive PR’s in one practice.

He did that last night as we did 400 meter intervals.

On our final cool-down lap, i planted the seed that one day these PR (personal records) would become a warmup lap time. Something he can’t fathom now.

But i see it clearly and convincingly.
