It's been a pretty good week of training, 4 miles Monday, 7 miles Tuesday, 4 miles Wednesday, 7 miles Friday and 14 miles Saturday. Mother nature still refuses to make it easy but treating the inclement weather like a challenge seems to make it a litlle more tolerable. Good friends with gym memberships and treadmills in their basements tends to ease the frustration too. Saturday was a good day for a run 5 degrees and a slight 6MPH wind. I don't know what it was about that wind but every time I turned into it it was like a shock to my system for the first 15 steps or so. I felt like a little baby experiencing the wind for the first time. Most of us have seen that look on a baby's face. That look of wide eyed uncertainty about whether or not it is ok to breathe this awful frigid substance into their system. I hope no one saw me. The fourteen miles went well Saturday, the nerves of finishing a marathon with my dignity in tact are starting to subside a little bit.
Please mark May 7, 2011 on the calendar. The second annual Running for the Ribbons 5K run/walk in Kindred will be on that day. If you would like to register, e-mail me at kolling0401@yahoo.com and I will send you a form. Anyone willing to train with me can just let me know, you don't have to run with me for the whole distance. Just a few miles is a great motivator for all parties invovled.
