Slow and steady isn’t a theory.

We just finished week six of becoming a runner. Our daily mailbox total is five, so far. Next week we will run six mailboxes each day.

Didn’t start out thinking negative splits

Map My Run screen shot
Yesterday, didn’t start out thinking negative splits, it just happened.

 

Since i missed Monday’s run (an intentional miss because of work), during yesterday’s run i was more rested going into it.

i only run M-W-F, by the way.

In the process, the run turned into eight consecutively faster (negative) splits. The final mile is always a slow, cool down mile.

i had to smile at what blossomed from nothing. i had intended to have a leisurely pace the entire way.

On the eight mile, i wondered if i could go sub-eight minutes, without overdoing it.

No problem.

To Magic Kingdom and back yesterday morning.

 

i didn’t want to stop running yesterday, but i knew there was no need to push it. It’s the off-season, winter, time to just be.

Yesterday at a red light: i love Disney…me too, so much so that i live next to it.

 

Running to Disney’s Magic Kingdom this morning. Why? Simply because i can. And because i love Disney.

Dear Son, one mailbox a day can be challenging

Orlando Holy Family Church
Yesterday, Sunday, 8:30am

 

One mailbox a day can be challenging. Why? Because it’s not part of our routine. Not a habit. Not yet. So we missed it in the morning. We forgot before dinner. We forgot after dinner too. This is why habits – good or bad – control our destiny.
