Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
At 55 he wondered if he could run as fast or maybe even faster than when he was 45.
Like a zealot, and although he had never done this, he ran the entire course as a warmup prior to the race.
He should have saved his energy. Conserved his resources for the big event.
His goal was to run the 22:10 he ran 10 years prior. His actual result was 21:50.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
We know this.

Will he meet or exceed the goal this morning? The goal for this morning’s 5k is 22:10.
In the 55-59 age group, that should be in the top five, or better.
In his first ever 5k, he ran 22:10 a decade ago as a 45-year old.
And 12 years ago began wearing night resting foot splints every night.
No one knows. No one cares.
Sharing it to say this:
Excuses bore me. Please keep yours to yourself.

The long way is the short cut. Ran a very slow five-miler this morning before sunrise. First time running in new shoes. Walked about 40 miles at Disneyland, plus 60 miles logged walking in Orlando prior.
Because of foot challenges, have been wearing trail running shoes for 12 years. The new shoes are a dramatic departure. This could cause new foot injuries if the adjustment is not gradual enough.
One hundred miles was a great break in effort. No issues on today’s run.

Wanted to walk before dawn, in the dark, but time slipped away. Still out before sunrise. Barely.
Walked four miles around Disneyland’s perimeter, breaking in new running shoes.

Tweet (photo, bottom) announcing a BFO – blinding flash of the obvious. Heat and humidity suck the life out of running.
Hate running? The time of day may be the reason.
That, and all the other bull crap reasons we tell ourselves.
But seriously, hot and sweaty is very different from cool and sweaty.
