Running Log - Jan 9
By day I am a mild-mannered keyboard junkie. By night I am murderous Harley scum. Perhaps as a result of this dichotomy, I am sensitive to any variations of the word posseur. (picture courtesy of MovieWeb)
Therefore, when Jerry told me this new way of running is referred to as POSE, I heard POST.
In any case, I've been working on my POSEing. Assuming I'm doing it right (BIG assumption), I can already feel the benefits while running uphill. And I can almost get to where it feels natural running on the flats. Downhill is still a challenge. The biggest impediment is my "speed." I'm guessing that I'm "running" at a pace somewhere between 11-12 minutes/mile. Probably closer to 12.
In any case, I didn't run on Tuesday because I had a sore calf. When I was in my 20's, my response to a sore calf was "huh?" In my 30's it was "ouch!" In my 40's it was "I should have listened to my body." Now I rest.
Wednesday I ran 55 minutes uphill and downhill through the neighborhood. Thursday it was a short day, up the ravine and down Cheyenne Road again, about 45 minutes, 30 of it running. You probably want to see what the neighborhood looks like, huh? OK, here it is, courtesy of Flickr:
