Running Thoughts: Week 8

(entry by Bowen)

i'm currently into socks...running socks

I don't know about you, but that 8 mile run was bittersweet.
Bitter, in that it was definitely an obstacle, a challenge to overcome- as it was the most I've ever ran in one single day, and I'm still feeling the residual effects of it in my legs. Recovery is quite something- the soreness. Taking advice from our veteran runners, I'm finding myself constantly stretching at awkward places now and then.
I say sweet, since its definitely a big accomplishment- personally. Its also made the personal training this past week a little easier, knowing that I've ran a good distance this past Saturday.
This song popped in my head, the past week or so, okay, I love my 80's music...but you might hear me humming this, tomorrow morning.

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no
I got to keep on moving

On a side note: Mark wrote an email a few days ago, about this upcoming event, I'm entertaining the idea of trying this--as a warm up run...and also looks real fun. I mean, 90's hip hop- how cool is that? Anyone down for this?
I mean, 5 miles....pshhh that's cake, after this last Saturday.

Mark wrote in his email, "Last year was a lot of fun. They started off with Debbie Gibson live, had Vanilla Ice, Coolio, Digital Underground at every mile marker and the De La Soul at the finish. Get a shirt, medal, and pictures.
This year's line up starts with Naughty by Nature, then Sir Mix A Lot, The Sugarhill Gang, Dawn Robinson of En Vogue, and a Finish line concert by MC Hammer."
And for those who may have forgotten....its Hammer time!
