Beat the Clock
Couldn't get up this morning, couldn't fit in a run today. No matter how hard I tried life kept popping up and closing potential workout windows. I make it a point to warn my kids that there will days like these.
Finally dispensed all of my obligations and got out the door at 9pm. It was 9:05 when I got on the hamster wheel at USP. The gym closes at 10. If I get in 9 miles then that, with the half mile each back and forth to home, will give me 10 and redeem the day. I wasted no time setting the wheel on 10 - 6 minute pace and the fastest it will go, and just kept it up until Marc the ARC manager told me I had two minutes left. I only needed a minute and a half of that to finish up my nine.
Total time was 54:07, and another mile warmup/ cooldown.
I had BB King and Eric Clapton on the iPod. Amazing blues. By mile 6 the only pain more intense than what was coming out of my lungs was the pain being pumped into my ears.
Get on a TWA to the promised land.
Every woman, child and man
Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring.
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
