Man was born to run. Cause we’re tramps. Human beings have a natural instinct to run. We used to run after our food or run to avoid becoming food. Why do we run now? Not sure people know why. Perhaps it is to recapture that primal instinct. Why else would people buy those shoes with the individual toes that make it feel like you are running in bare feet? I hate running. Seriously, what’s the rush people? Not sure if its my flat feet, my seasonal asthma, my generally bad cardiovascular conditioning or my rolodex of excuses but running is tough. Real tough.
As part of Operation 180, the challenge for week three was to run the equivalent of a half marathon over the course of a week. A half marathon is about 21 kilometres. I haven’t run that far perhaps in my whole life. Well not since I was playing soccer. People who run quite frequently probably don’t consider that very much running but for me it was alot. at this point I can’t imagine doing it all at once. Big cudos to the people who do that. I tried to run 3 km a day for the week. I missed one day so I only ran 18 km.
One day on the treadmill I was a little...gassy. I was running well but tooting as well. Tooting is a word that I use with my girls. The word farting seems much sharper. Tooting makes the act cute. Anyways I was thinking, I know that I am passing gas, I’m still running and its not impeding me at all. The problem is my iPod is pumping in my ear. I have no way of knowing if anyone else can hear me farting or not. I could have been that asshole farting on the treadmill. That’s a weird play on words. I will never know. Can you imagine, hearing a tuba solo at the YMCA? Clearly a downside of the earphone.
Week 3 Challenge: Grade C+
Week 4 Challenge: Swim 1.9 km. (76 laps at the YMCA)
