What does it feel like to train like a Cyclist?
Just ride and lift…that’s what I wanted to do and it was really fun.
The experiment came to an end yesterday and I promise to NEVER do this again.
Hercules wanted to “run” the Jacksonville ½ Marathon and asked me if I wanted to “run” it with him.
It’s only 13.1 miles and he said we would try and go around 1:45 and I thought, sure, it's Christmas time and I would enjoy a nice easy run with my friend.
Then the smack talk started...I ran my mouth a little and then next thing you know…
Elvis is in the house.
(Actually people were calling us Elvi...we think that is plural for Elvis’s.)
We ran REALLY slowly – apparently we did not calculate just how hot the suits were or how hard it was to run in them (DNF as Elvis - no way)...
We finished in just under 2 hours.
In the process – we shook a lot of hands – posed for a BUNCH of pictures (even while we ran)
and made every little kid smile – it was awesome!!!
OH yeah and I will never do this again!!!
Elvis? No that part was great…can't wait for next time :)
Trying to run 13.1 miles after not doing as much as a ¼ mile in the last 5 weeks was REALLY stupid.
My lesson is learned, my next off season has to include a few little runs to stay in form or I better stay on the coach cuz I am SORE today!!!
Congrats to Peter, Saswata, Tony, Michael, JC, Joey, Sween, Tyler, Joy, Vann, Wilson and the rest of the crew who ran – Great Job!!!
That’s all for now…Elvis is back on the coach :)
