I continue to make progress. Some days I feel pretty good
and others not so much. I suppose running is like everything else in life…ups
and downs. We have about 6 weeks to go until the GAR 5K.
This week in class,
Shauna plans to time us again for the mile and adjust training plans
accordingly. I am curious to see how I do, but regardless of the time, I am
satisfied that I am more comfortable running and can enjoy it a bit. As I
understand the process, I am finishing up the building phase and starting the
sharpening phase and then it will be on to taper and recovery. I recall some of
this terminology when Nathan was swimming competitively. I guess the approach
is the same. It is interesting how this works.
Remember, my goal was to do this
for me and hopefully create an opportunity for better health. I have lost about
7 or so pounds, and my blood pressure is very slowly starting to respond
downward. So, I guess this activity stuff that we preach does actually lead to
positive results. More to come since it is early in the process; but again, I
am satisfied with how this is going. I hope everyone does well with their mile
time this week - good luck to all! Kevin
