Gordon: Go on then, run!
Dennis: Isn't there some kind of like... special technique?
Gordon: Well...yeah...you put one leg in front of the other over and over again really really fast.
As the clock continues to dwindle down to zero hour, I think the boys and I are ready for Sunday. Most forecasts call for a mostly dry day with cool temperatures. I finally took Ira’s advice and went out yesterday to pick up a “Dry-Fit” running shirt. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the XL I’m normally used to buying didn’t come close to fitting me. Upon further review, twenty five pounds have fallen off my frame since training began in July. That’s welcoming news for my ever-fragile right knee.
Tomorrow is the last day of training under the Hal Higdon plan, and I couldn’t be more excited about running a scant two miles in the wee hours tomorrow. I should probably warn my neighbors (especially my friend Judy Rowland who’s house is at the two mile point of the Run For Tony course), that she may hear an emphatic “WAAHOOOO!” tomorrow morning prior to sunup.
Thanks for reading,
Pat
