....nope, not the Manfred Mann song (c'mon, who remembers that one?)
Anyway, I'm a week into my running program. So far (operative word there) its way below my talent level (which was minimal to start with, hence the running program) but since i felt a twinge the other day after a run its good that the program has so much built-in off time. For now.
But its nice too. Its rather easy and I don't dread the runs coming up. On the contrary, I rather look forward to them (not so much that I set the alarm for 5:20 a.m. however). Tonight's jaunt calls for walk 3 mins, run 3 mins, repeat 4 times. Simple enough, eh? I'm maxing out at 6 mph and walking 3. Again, trying to take it really easy to start (do I sound like I'm trying to convince myself? I probably am).
One thing I need to keep in mind is: the mere fact that my 22-year-old mind thinks I can still run 7 miles at a 6:20 clip, doesn't mean that my 42-year-old ligaments and tendons are ready (let alone lungs, knees, bladder). That, therein, is the key. The aforementioned may be able to handle more load (except perhaps my knees), but the tiny parts need about 6 weeks to get up to speed. So, since I'm so far out from my goal, I'll allow them the time to catch up.
Plus, I think its good for my daughter to see her old man at least fight the good fight against aging (all right, anybody remember that song? From Triumph? Rik Emmet could play a hell of a guitar). Role modeling anyone? Of course her energy levels are off the charts.
Mine aren't. Not yet. Hence the program. And the slow start. Besides, there will be plenty of hellacious runs, oh about, August sometime.

Random fact because of your mention of Triumph. My alarm clock goes off every morning at 4:56 am to "Fool For Your Love". I am not kidding when I say the song I wake up to has stayed the same since college.
And good for you with the running! You have been doing more than me this week. My kids are shocked that because I am sick I have not been running. Practically unheard of for me!
OMG such an obscure Triumph song too. You're quite a bit younger than me, I'm surprised you know them. Are you a fan?
And...I have to ask....4:56? Not 5? You must have a reason, lol.
4:56 because then by the time I get up and get into some running clothes and get a drink and all, I am still ready just after 5? I don't know.
I'll have to write a post one day about when I lived with my parents and had a "not really curfew" but I had to leave a note of where I was going and what time I'd be home. I would leave wacky times like "I'll be home at 1:43 am" or something. My mom was not amused but my dad laughed a little each time.
I love Triumph. I don't know a ton of their songs, but the ones I know I love.
Hi ya Nouveau!
Great tunes for sure. Do you bring an mp3 player or something like that with these great songs with you on the runs?
Best wishes,
Skeeter
That's cool R-girl. I was a huge fan and saw them a few times in concert. They came along as I was 16, 17 and 18 -- so they just "clicked" with me at that time of life.
Skeeter - since the running plan is "time oriented" I've been relegated to the treadmill, which is fine by me. It has an MP3 player input with speakers, but I usually just watch TV. However, I do have a phone loaded with songs to crank to when I finally do get outside.
