Perception outweighs reality

Yesterday morning, a spontaneous photo – a metaphor on so many levels.

 

The High School Math teacher asked how i stay so fit. The French teacher said, “I see you running everyday.”

Truth be told, i run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

To stay fit (since 1999) i run, walk, go to the gym, stretch, sleep decently, and make (mostly) good food choices for quality and quantity, and i find a million ways to stay motivated.

The last one, i forgot to mention to them.

Weekends were made for Michelob

weekend bicycling
Yesterday, a Saturday, at school.

 

Weekends were made for Michelob. A 1977 commercial and it’s tag line made me think about a similar tag line:

Weekends were made for bicycling.

We have been bicycling regularly (though nothing major) throughout the summer. But with the advent of High School, the only time available is on the weekends.

It’s too hot after the sun comes up. And after school is iffy because of common Florida thunderstorms.

So the freshman gets up early on the weekends.

Did Isaac Newton exercise?

Map My Run screen shot
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.
