I have to admit here publicly that I fell off the wagon last week. It was the first full week of classes. I returned to Miami with determination to dive into school and not falter from my running routine. Classes were going quite well but I can’t say the same for new computers in my labs. Free time melted away and every promise to myself that I would run that evening or next morning went unrealized. I managed only two or three short runs. I had also for a few weeks planned, needed to do, an eighteen-mile run. I also had the sobering realization that M-day is only two months away. During this time I faced my ultimate temptation. The grocery store had a buy-one-get-one-free Starbucks ice cream sale. I succumbed.
The following weekend found us in North Carolina and I was determined to make amends. Friday I went out for eight miles, repeated this on Saturday and Sunday finally did eighteen or 18.7 to be precise. All systems were go, all the parts felt good and I’m happy to report that I’m back on top of that wagon.
Hi Jeff- I am enjoying your "running commentary" and wish you the best in the race to help others. I always wanted to run, and I tried to keep up with Robbin and Steve before I realized why it was so hard for me to make my legs move. I had Dad and son visions of running with Tyler when he was a youngster, but was obviously never able to realize them. I hope to see you and Robbin soon, I will be there with you in spirit on the run, best of luck, Chris
