Last Thursday I was doing my workout and as I was walking on the treadmill I looked over to where this woman was running. I was trying to see what speed she had the treadmill set at. I have never ‘run’ on a treadmill and as I approach the time when I will start to actually run, I am trying to figure out what the settings should be for me to run at. Anyways, as I was looking over at her machine she pulled the earbuds from her ears and asked me what I was doing. Now the good thing is that this is a woman that I have had chats with over the last two years as I spend time working out and I have told her of my knee issues and what I am attempting to do this summer so when I explained she was quite helpful and we talked about running and knee issues. She asked me when had been the last time I had run as part of my training. I thought for a minute and then told her it had been back when I was in college and would run as part of pre-season conditioning or as part of practice. Are you ready for this: 1978!!!!
Really, I have not ‘ran’ as part of training or just for the sake of running in 32 years. What do I think I am doing planning on running my 1st triathlon NOW? I would have never believed it myself even a year ago, but to tell you the truth, I am confident that I will complete a triathlon this year.
