Before I go run

There were a couple of comments on Yesterday’s “34 not 35″ post that I wanted to respond and I thought were worthing posting so that everyone would see them:

From DPeach over at Missionary Talks:

You really need to learn to slow down. There is nothing shameful about running a 10 minute mile if that is what you need to do.

I know! I warned myself at least 3 times while running, “This is too fast, this is too fast.” But it must be my inner teenager throwing caution to the wind. And I am a little sore today as a result. I can only slow when I am pacing someone, which is why sometimes, I seek out others that I think (or know) are slower than me and run with them.

From Ms. E over at Redhead Educator:

Why would you toss your 30 lbs kid in the pool? You are just sick and twisted, but I like that in a friend. Wait till he gets his own lawyer.

Technically, I tossed him in the air, only catch him before he went totally underwater. The whole, “I am the parent, I have total control over you” thing. He’s either going to get a lawyer or the space aliens are going to suck his brains out when turns 13 and I become the dumbest person on the planet. I hear that lasts until about 20 when the space aliens return the brain and then I become “not so dumb after all”.

So, as predicted I am sore today. It’s not limping bad. It’s not post marathon, stairs are evil bad. It’s you ran too fast yesterday bad. So, I will start out slow today and try to find some hills to give them a good work out. I would like to keep my pace down to 9:45-10:00, so we’ll see how that works. I am going to record for Gravity@1053 today and hopefully get something out this week.

    Speed is relative!

    Very good to read that you were back out there on the roads without aggravating “the rub”. You’ve already been chastised to take it easy so I won’t add to that. I hope the 30 lb kid int he pool thing is metaphorically speaking or I’d better go back and read some more.
