Jason...where are you????

I have never ever had any desire

whatsoever

to run.

Not me

no how.

I marvel at those folks who run so smoothly,

effortlessly and consistently.

I especially like to watch those who seem to be born to run

great form,

barely touching the ground,

hardly breathing,

with a serene look on their faces

certainly not sweating

...not like those who plod or

who seem to be running sideways, and

whose faces are contorted

like they are dying standing up

or with their mouth gaping open.

Based upon what I know of me

and of my capabilities

if I ever ran

I would definitely

be in the second group

no doubt.

Having said all of that....

As a Crossfitter

one does not get to choose

one's WOD.

Today's WOD

was

running

running 400 meters

resting 2 minutes

for time

then

doing it

again and

again and

again.

Joanne, who usually helps me, was there

when I came in.

She told me that she was not going to help me today,

instead it was going to be

Justin

and that, I should take my time, take it easy

only do what I could.

So after stretching, here is what I did....

the first 400 meters in 2min 55 sec

the second in 2:58

the third in 3:08 and

the fourth in 2:57

THAT'S RIGHT -

I actually did them ALL

and I ran the whole time

and I did not fall down

and I did them in less

than an hour each!!!

And, since it was in the dark,

and no on could really see me

I am here to tell you....

I was smooth.
