Tuesday’s Run
I have been trying to become a runner, but I am not alone. My wife has been running. She has started after me, so she is trying to get up her distance.
Teri is a more natural runner, her stride is smooth and natural. It will be a matter of time until she passes me.
Tuesday night is our night to go to Joe Walker Middle School to run. Normally, Tracy will join us and we will meet up with the High Desert Runners. This day, no Clay from HDR, nor Tracy she is healing from an ankle sprain.
Teri wanted to extend her distance, so we walked two laps to warm up. Each lap is 400 meters (or 1/4) mile. We ran 1/2 mile and walked 1/4. Then run 3/4 mile and walked 1/4 mile. We ran the last two laps or 1/2 mile at a much faster pace. Teri kept kicked up her pace and finished well.
I did not run Monday, so I wanted to sprint on the last lap. The test for me is to start at the right moment and not bonk before the end. I did well (for me). When I sprint, is the time that I feel like a runner. It is contagious.
I am so proud for the both of you…stepping it up will be good for both cardiovascular and endurance. Teri is a great runner, she will be best as time goes by as she is most natural…I fully agree…looking forward to this weeks run, being back to join the group.
