If you hate running, you’re doing it wrong

Yesterday.

 

A relative asked for advice on how to get ready for a “Warrior 5k” in only four weeks.

Also yesterday, a former colleague “wished everything didn’t hurt” when she tried running.

Two thoughts:

  1. Slow and steady wins the race.
  2. If you don’t like running, you’re doing it wrong.

What makes me an expert? Don’t really know, except that i run. A lot. And have for a long time.

Ahhh, the good old days of running in the dark.

 

Disney running partners
jeff noel and Djuan Rivers out for a run yesterday.

 

Djuan has an 8am steering committee meeting every Wednesday. Wednesday’s are my easy days.

We synched our calendars so we could both enjoy a leisurely run together.

It’s a 5k from my mailbox to Djuan’s.

Turned out to be 11 miles of LSD (long, slow, distance).

In a way, this morning’s run is Cast only.

 

Heading across the street to Keene’s Point to run this morning with 25-year friend Djuan Rivers. We met as colleagues for Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club opening team in 1990.

Djuan recently completed a marathon in Antarctica. He’s also parachuted over Mt Everest too. He has an extensive list of extreme adventures.

He has been insanely successful at Disney.
