Here's what I looked like, just ready to head out the door. Linda's first pic with the iPhone! Look Kelly, no drink in my hand!
According to Google Earth I ran just over 9K in one hour exactly. The Fish Creek part was from Bebo Grove, along the pathway to bridge 2, over it, hard right and up the hill, along the path, then down the really, really steep part. I need to get back there and take a pic of the user modified warning sign. From there over bridge 1, and back up the hill towards the 37 st pathway. I'd been expecting my watch to say I'd been running for over an hour, and was astonished to see it had been 51 minutes. Here's a map of the whole route.
The run started and ended easy. Much of it was a steady high zone 2 pace, with some faster bits. Worked on form and posture. Thinking about how to get a video of me running. Ran up the really steep hill that I used to have trouble walking up. Ran fast up the hill out of the park to 37 St.
My legs and feet felt great throughout. Strong and fast, even. (For me, guys, for me. Think of T Rex chasing dinner.) I'd done some stretching and walking before the run, and walked after. Stretched. Then to help Linda learn to use the iPhone I consented to be the video subject. Me doing plank. Voluntarily. With Linda making (semi) witty comments.

That was the most exciting plank video I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteIn related news, that was the only plank video I've ever seen.
I feel I have seen too much.
All these pix and videos on your blog these daze ... have you considered you're maybe spending too much time around Barefoot Neil Zed?
He's rubbing off on you. (Meant in the sense that won't give you nightmares. But just alluding to that other sense will give me the night terrors. Why do I do this to myself?)

ReplyDeleteOh I knew a coach named Katie
Who inspired me to try
To do a plank to failure
I swore I'd do or die
So I got my wife to film me
Proving to my coach I can
Be worthy of her teaching
Which made me an Ironman
(chorus)
So its hee ho hi ho
I'm holding in my core
So what if I am grunting
It's better than a snore
So its hay ho hi ho
My efforts not in vain
Immortalized on camera
A planking minute's fame
This by Keith's wife Linda, who admittedly has a somewhat twisted view on things:)
