The old adage goes: Learn something new everyday.
Since I have started down this road, I have hit that mark. Actually most days I exceed it. That's part of why it is so exciting!
Today I read an article posted on Runner's World. It's title is Stride Right. I printed it to save it's useful information. What is interesting is that I remembered a small part of it while I was out on my run tonight. "Focus on gliding—rather than bouncing—over the ground" '
I actually kept saying to myself, over and over, GLIDE. GLIDE. And I ended up having an awesome run.
Now I went out feeling a little sore from yesterdays treadmill run. So I had actually planned to do a run/walk. Just something to keep my muscles memory going. But I ended up have the best time I have ever had. I think if I had not started out sore, I would have PR'd! lol.
I also learned how to add pages to my blog. So I have separated "topics". Eventually I hope to learn how to make the blog pleasant to the eye.
Learning is so much fun!
Hurray to learning something new.. and your great run.
ReplyDeleteI have used the glide mantra in the past too only for me it is FLOAT... but I know the feeling you are talking about.
