according to wikipedia…
Running is by definition the fastest means for an animal to move on foot. It is defined in sporting terms as a gait in which at some point all feet are off the ground at the same time. It is a form of aerobic exercise.
I tried this running thing today. Yeah, that’s how foreign I feel toward it right now. I believe I’ve been averaging about 1.5 runs a week since the reno began 6 weeks ago so I decided today would be my official return to regular running.
Of course, cardio-wise I am in pretty rough shape but all is not lost. The pose form I worked hard to attain is mostly intact. I’m making contact directly under my body on my forefeet and, I feel as though the past long while of minimal running has done a world of good in healing this old body from past marathon days.
So with little fanfare I’m back with three simple goals:
-don’t make any stupid mistakes that get me injured.
-run at least four times a week.
-build a solid six week base of slow, steady running.
And then we’ll see.
