And that’s why I try not to overdo things on my marathon training
I do watch a lot of people running on the bike trail when I’m out back sucking down bud Platinums
I remember when I could run, right up age 14, and it became very unnatural for me. I have often wondered if I had a growth spurt and nothing pulled naturally in my muscles when I tried to run. It made my feet, back, and shoulders sore.
So I did a lot less running.
Instead, I got stronger. Not working out strength, but young man strength.
I sometimes wonder. I see people running, and they seem to really like it.
Granted, I also see the people who don’t seem to be enjoying it at all, which will prompt either my wife or I to say “Egad-did you see that guy’s face?” which gets the equal response of “Yeah. He wasn’t enjoying himself.”
That said, I sure envy people who can run long distances. It sometimes looks like a real hoot to some people.
