Redemption of a sort

It was a cool 66 out there at 6 a.m. so I laced up to put yesterday's tragedy in my rear view. I opted to Galloway over Ironman so went out for an 11 x 1 mile jog. Every mile I walked a minute and it all came out to my satisfaction. My legs felt much better.

Once home I stretched, showered and slipped back into bed for an extra hour of sleep. When Mrs. T woke up she noticed I had been out of bed for a little while and asked how long. I said, "Eleven miles worth."

"Really?" she replied. She barely noticed.

Fly your flag today. Make sure it's facing the right way if hung. Flag Police are out with radar.

I am in much need of redemption . . . I ran three today . . . not eleven . . . how will I ever pace you if I can't run a marathon?

Yeah, the run/walk can be restorative. Nice early outing.

I love the Galloway run/walk method. I ran 11 on trails Sunday, but I needed several walk breaks thanks to the humidity. Deerfly attacks while walking helped encourage me to resume running though! Fortunately they're not yet up to full speed - yet.

For a little fun, consider this a "tag". :-)

can i do that too?? Why does it always feel like cheating?!?!

I'm sure mrs. t missed every minute you were gone. She just plays coy with you.

I have to run for 60 min tomorrow...and i'm scared. I'm very scared. which seems to have become a permanent state with me! Maybe I will try your method.

Whne you're having a bad day, you always cut it short and come back another day. You did it just right.
