Marathon Maniac #957
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Perch's Profile "I don't know if running adds years to your life, but it definitely adds life to your years." - Jim Fixx "The secret is to make in your mind possible what was not possible before. The secret is to make easy what was difficult, instead to make difficult what really is easy." - Coach Renato Canova

Beautiful day here in Dallas. It's headed up to the 80 0176's today. (Or 80º if you prefer.) 5 miles in the park, first 2.5 slow, last 2.5 at easy pace, then a flexibility workout at the Y. Ilene, a lady in our club also had a spill this past weekend and commented, "I wish I had my water bottle with me. They are great for breaking your fall." I hadn't thought about that, but the tendency is to put your hands out. Much easier on your hands if you have a water bottle in one of them. Hope you are okay. Spareribs

jdmom3, I didn't know fast graceful runners like you ever fall too!
Once a runner . . .
And I was thinking 'I wish I had a great big strong guy with me to catch me from falling".

"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."
Ok, down to business. Hard to follow stripped down firemen with cute little waterfowl pictures but...... I ran today, YIPPEE!! I have been dealing with a lot, I mean a lot of anxiety regarding running again, after what happened last Tuesday. Today I bit the bullet and went out there. Yesterday I had been feeling pretty good, with only 2 skipped beats and a much calmer HR overall, so I figured it was time. Plus this no caffeine, no alcohol thing seems to be working too. I did 3 easy miles, about 11:35 pace. I only had one skip right when I switched from running to walking at the end of my run. I did a long cool down of walking before getting in the car. I am feeling great now. I will try 4 miles tomorrow. This guy was blocking my way to the dock, so I just let him be:
Trails are hard!
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
