New Year (The Beginning of the End of the World)

So it's 2012.
To ring in the new year this morning my wife and I went and ran at the Atlanta Track Club's Resolution Run 5K in Kennesaw. It was unusually warm- 60 degrees F at 11 AM. The humidity felt like 100%. There were lots of people, probably 2000+. This race marks my 3rd year of running.  I actually started two and a half years ago at the Peachtree Road Race 2009.

I have always been an athlete as long as I can remember. My earliest childhood memory was of me playing soccer barefoot outside in the dirt with my friends when I was about 4 or 5. Growing up in a third world country I never wore any shoes or footwear besides flip-flops or sandals- the kind that was made from recycled car tires. I loved the feel of the dirt and the wet asphalt under my feet when it rained, which it did a lot along the Mekong Delta, South Vietnam. I remember running, riding bikes, playing soccer, jumping ropes and just walking for fun outside 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, literally from sun up to sun down. We did have a TV with one station which broadcasted in black & white from 7 to 12 at night. Yes, I'm that old. (Forty cough six)

Fast forward to some 40+ years later, and I now have a newfound love for barefooting or going sockless whenever I can. I run in minimalist shoes/ zero drop shoes for about a year now. I go barefoot indoors as much as possible, and wear flip-flops or sandals even in the winter. It must be my midlife crisis. Some men get convertible sports car or cosmetic surgery or have a mistress, I run. Every. Single. Day.  I didn't set a personal record (PR) or anything like that today but it just felt great achieving my goal of running every single day for the past 387 days.  KISS.  Keep it simple sweetie.

2012 Resolutions:
#1   Run every day.
#2   Eat healthy.
#3   Live simpler.
#4   Keep a sense of humor.
#5   Be more pretentious.
#6   Act my age.  Not!
#7   Will run no Marathon at all, not even half of one.
#8   Will stop posting on facebook when I'm drunk.
#9   Drink less beer.  More wine.

50x50x50

So this past Saturday was the 365th consecutive days that I have ran at least 5K. One full year, 12 months straight, not missing a single day. I've ran roughly 96% outdoors on the roads, trails, and parks. The times that I ran indoors were mostly on the indoor track and treadmill at Bally's Total Fitness gym where I've been a member since 1998. I've ran in snow, sleet, rain, wind, hail, heat, humidity and even a couple of tornado warnings. I learned to love the summer heat here in Georgia, I actually enjoyed running in 95 degrees weather in the middle of July as I was training or practicing for the Peachtree Road Race 10K. I've learned to pace myself and limit my runs to around 3 to 4 miles range at a comfortable 9:30 pace. My longest run ever was 10 miles. This summer I was one of 14 people out of 14,000 members of the Atlanta Track Club who completed all 14 races of the Grand Prix Series and received a Bunny Award. My new goal is 50x50x50: Run for 50 minutes in all 50 states by the time I turn 50 years old. I have about 162 weeks left to do this. My first ever race was a One Mile Fun Run in Puerto Rico. It was the Ramey Fun Run held on the Ramey Air Force Base in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico 1979.

How to Run

Follow Your Bliss

"Follow your bliss. The heroic life is living the individual adventure. There is no security in following the call to adventure. Nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be. To refuse the call means stagnation. What you don’t experience positively you will experience negatively. You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else’s path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else’s way, you are not going to realize your potential." Joseph Campbell
