An accumulation of distance

Things have been going fairly well lately with the exception of a few bumps here and there. My numbers are staying pretty close to where they should be and now I have to work in some kilometers. I never was much into running. I didn't see the point in running some where if there was no fire or a bear chasing you. Waking up at 5:00 a.m. to go outside and run to no where and back.

Well that perception will soon change, seeing the benefits of learning to run is something to look forward to. My wife is a long distance runner so I'll learn how to run properly and gradually build to a solid endurance and measured distance.Then I have something to gauge off of and try to improve my distance or time.  An added bonus to this is we get some time together, thats a tough one around this house, much like everyone else trying to make a go of it with work, children, life. I'm sure this is understood all too well. I'm going to research lengths of pools, walking/ bicycle paths, and in door tracks to try to get as many ways to travel by your body power as I can and rack up some kilometers.

I very glad to hear that some of our injured teamates are starting to recover already and chomping at the bit to get back to training. You are setting the bar for hard cores on this team, good on you guys for displaying drive, determination, and patience. Thats all I really have this week, until the next.

  1. I would strongly recommend that you get a pedometer and see how far you walk every day. I walk, on average, two miles a day at work, it totally keeps the miles adding up. When I go for a walk or run, it is an added bonus. Good luck with your running.
