Run Your Ass Off

Two miles again today! And the motor ran…

This was supposed to be a day of rest, I think, on Joe Baska’s plan for the Scenic 10, but I jogged today because I stayed home two other days this week.   The funny thing, after walking/jogging two miles in just under 30 minutes, my legs felt like they used to feel after jogging 10 miles or more.

My how times change.

I was thinking that this is just probably the 11th or 12th year since I started running.  I had a few years off, but it’s good to be back at it.

And the motor started to run.

I consider the “motor” running when I can jog and forget about wanting to stop, forget about moving, forget about trying to motivate myself, forget about breathing.  I just jog, in a zone.  I touched the zone today, for the first time in a long time.  It didn’t last long.  Hugh caught up with me, and I had the dog with me as well.  The dog was cause for quite a few stops.  But I was actually able to run and keep at it for a while.

Weighed in a day or so ago at 230 lbs.  I’m still running for two.
