A really good friend gave me this advice....train for your weaknesses and race your strengths.....
So I have made a concerted effort to really try to become a better runner....regular training on the treadmill....
So once a week I drive to Long Beach to run on the boardwalk. Its about 5 miles and I love every second of it. The ocean is just a few feet away....salt air.....cool breeze....helps clear my head.
I started this crazy journey running 1 minute and walking 1.5 minutes....I remember feeling like i was going to collapse after finishing the whole thing.....and feeling amazing cause i never thought i could do it....so tonight I did it again...and i have a secret....
I think i am turning into a runner......DONT TELL ANYONE......
My aerobic fitness is getting better....I can jog for 5-7 minute intervals AND i am able to start recovering while jogging instead of walking.....so much less walky much more runny,...bobbby like....yes bobby like very much....
While i was running...i felt soooo good.....and i got to my usual interval time where i would walk and I said to myself...just keep going....you arent even breathing hard.....it was great...just kept going....much longer than i ever have....
SO TODAY I AM PROUD OF MYSELF...YEP ME MOI BOBBITO
And when i was done...I JUMPED IN THE OCEAN....A W E S O M E
Never thought i would say it but...I am a runner.

OMG!!!!
That's FANTASTIC!! I was going to post about running and blah blah blah, and then I read yours!
Holy Cow! If you do Vineman next year, you are going to go freakin crazy on that course!
hang tough there bob. you are doing great.
hang tough there bob. you are doing good work. just keep on putting one stroke, one pedal, or one foot in front of the other and the next thing you know...you will have run your race, completed your goal and changed your life forever. "it is what it is" or so the bartender tells me. don't try to church it up, just do what you can do.
