Did Isaac Newton exercise?

Yesterday’s run included 10 miles of negative splits before backing off the pace.

 

What if impossible really is nothing?

Isaac Newton is remembered for saying the obvious:

A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion.

Back to back excellent interval workouts had me wanting feeling a change was necessary yesterday.

Some LSD.

Some long, slow, distance.

Maybe a 10-11 miler.

A different turn about four miles in would provide a route not run before. How far would it be?

It turned out to be 16.1 miles.

Our ability to delay is what kills us

Red Nose Day 2015

Having the prerogative to delay, that is, to put off doing what we know is good for us, is what kills us.

Generally speaking, once we make a habit of not exercising, we’re good enough at it to make it last a lifetime.

Just get started, please

Negative splits and the final mile the fastest.

 

Just get started, please.

Time, comparison, inability, lack of motivation, procrastination.

Screw those things.

Note: When i started running in 1999, 100 meters was all i could do. Yesterday however, mile 8 was the final (and fastest) mile if you subtract mile 9 as a cool down and mile 10 as a walk (additional cool down).
