look out aging hipster!
I’m comin’ after your name Jeff!
This has been such a suck week at work. It prevented me from hooking up with Aaron on Monday, and it prevented me from running during my lunch break yesterday. uggg…
So today, I refused to let it stop me because I was going stir crazy!
I headed out anticipating another three to four mile run but quickly found myself enticed to go further by the unbelievable weather. I decided to try an old standby 7km/4.5 mile route with the promise I would walk as often as I needed to to stay in form. The route is a good test because it has varied elevation with some up and down hills and flat sections.
It went really well. I ran the course in about 40 minutes – so about a 9 minute per mile pace. I took eight very short walk breaks (about one every five minutes). Definitely not speedy but in form the whole way so “yay” for me.
There really is no turning back now as far as the pose method goes. It’s really getting to feel natural and good. 
Oh! About the “comin’ after your name” thing? Well, I did the last mile in my bare feet and, while doing so, met a young feller (I’d say about 16) in the last hundred meters or so. As I was passing by him, he looked first at the shoes in my hand and then at my barefoot running and said, “ya look hip”.
I had the aging part covered already and now I’m gaining on hipness. All I need to figure out now is how to get as fast as Jeff.
hmmm…
