Improvement

My son recently joined me in my morning run. Later that day, he commented that I now run differently. He used to join me every weekend when I began running late last year.

I asked, "In what way?"

He answered, "You're streamlined now."

I thought, "Wow, that sounded good. I'll take that as a compliment." I then asked, "Why? How did I run before?"

He then made the action that looked like a gorilla walking and swaying side to side.

"How about now?"

And he made the actions similar to an airport tarmac personnel guiding an airplane to go straight. Definitely a compliment.

"So, do I look like I'm running now?"

... pause ... thinking ...

"Uhmmm, I guess, sort of."

Wow! These are major improvements in the comments I get from my son! I'm on my way baby!

It took a while to achieve this one because of my injury which prevented me from training in January and early Feb. But all that matters now is that I was able to do this. I'm not really sure about the time but it's probably between 45 to 50 minutes. My initial plan was to just run it as easy as one of my training runs but maybe because of the energy of the race and the crowd, I ran it a lot harder. I was spent at the end of the race. My heart monitor read only 17 seconds in Zone 1! Only 2 minutes in Zone 2! 5 minutes in Zone 3 and a whopping 38 minutes in Zone 4. Definitely a recipe for injuries and/or over-fatigue. I guess I'll just do races at most once a month or else I'll risk injury or over-fatigue. Aside from finishing, what's great is that I didn't re-injure my plantar fascia and even if I was really spent at the finish, I w...
