So...our Runner's Boot Camp gets larger every time and Sunday a week ago we held an 'open' make up session that went over so well (only 2 people cried!) that we're doing it again. This Sunday, August 8th at 5:00 p.m. - Mt. Brook High School Track Micki and I will host a Runner's Boot Camp style workout for all comers...no charge. Bring 2 towels (1 to wipe the sweat with the other to put under you when we have you work out on the ground...yep, core, planks, hamstring, hip, and butt work) and water. We'll use the field, the track, the stadium....do they have a kitchen sink? Rain or shine (if it's raining it'll probably be just a summer shower and you're gonna be wet from sweat anyway) - it's a lot of fun and we keep it moving. We're usually done in an hour...or when we hear pleas for mercy. Feel free to contact me with any questions....danny@rununiversity.com Saturday August 28th R101 and R201 Couch to 5K/10K will hold it's informational meeting at Trak Shak Homewood. R101 is literally from the couch or inactivity and R201 is for those who can run 2 miles but have trouble getting over the 'hump'. If you're not sure which group we'll have a group run or 2 and you can 'seed' yourself. I want to show you what you CAN do, not tell you what you can't do. Whichever group, we'll ALL work towards the Race for the Cure and Vulcan Run - just slightly different methods and schedules. Same thing - danny@rununiversity.com with questions. Man I was bushed the other day...that's why God invented the 7th Day. We require rest! The enigma of energy is the more we use the more we have; and the more we 'stress' our bodies the stronger they get when coupled with ADEQUATE REST! So take your rest days...if you don't, ultimately your performance will suffer and (worser!) you could get injured. I know we all as athletes are a little OC, but it doesn't mean we have to OCI (obsessive compulsive idiot). I know the left brain runner gets out there and if he/she is supposed to run 6 miles and the Garmin says 5.923 they'll run around a lamp post until they hit 6. As if their body really knows...pfft. But, hey, if it makes you happy. In the Book of Dan it is written that "in distance round up; in time round down". So if you run what you think is 6 miles and you drive it to measure, or use google maps (few true Disciples of Dan have a Garmin) to measure and it says 5.8 miles *Poof*! ...Its 6. And if you ran that 6 in 49:59, you ran it in 49 minutes....dang it! Round up, round down! Hey, if it's good enough for the Boston Athletic Association, it's good enough for me!
