Thanks Hal

TIP OF THE DAY: One reason why runners follow my training programs or the programs of other coaches is because it gives them a plan. It gives them a route to their destination, just like you might plot a route using MapQuest or a GPS device. But sometimes en route, you come to a road block and must shift to a detour. As long as your initial route plan was sound, you can take that detour, lose a few miles and still get to your destination. The same is true with running. Stay on course the best you can.


Perfect timing. While 4 running days a week is pretty easy to manage. There are always snafus. One of which is a sick kid. I was scheduled to run 3 Easy yesterday. But I was home bound with a sick G. Figured I would do it today, and do my long run Sunday. But guess who is home with me again? Which means I may just try for my long run tomorrow. And based on the weather, it might end up being 12 on the treadmill. Disgusting? Yes. Good for mental toughness? Yes. Good for catching up on trashy TV? Yes. Do I like to ask myself questions? Yes.
