M.O.D. was there along with FNGs (high school friends/teammates) Cal, Kendall and Andrew. Fake News was also there for support.
As MOD and Zare have joined for so many beatdowns in recent months, they've heard about the Christina Latini 8K. MOD mentioned interest in training for it, and soon his friends voiced an interest as well.
So today we ran a mile, walked a little, ran another, then went back for the 6. In all, just under 2.5 miles. Slow mosey for sure. But we're going to built up the miles, then do speed work and hill work – just like my mentors Ultraman, BEP, Frogger, Jaws, Freedom and others have taught me when I trained for the Hville Half.
2 runs a week. We'll add distance from time to time. We'll get faster. It won't get easier, but we'll get better at it.
Looking forward to September to honor Sweet Tooth
I will list Olive in the Pax any time I decide to post one of these – because he and his family and Sweet Tooth are there in spirit for every step.
