94 Training Days Left 'til KMXT'S RUN THE ROCK!

I'm really looking forward to posting an "after" picture~

Success at the gym is determined by "showing up."
Success with a walk/jog/run program involves tying your shoes and going out the door. I went out the door today and I'm glad.
After my run I attempted to conduct a post-mortem analysis of the experience with a certain 12 year old athlete who lives with me.

"How far did you go?"
"Up Sawmill Circle to the first house."
"You went that far?"
"Yes!"(I said proudly)

Then I started to launch into a monologue about everything I thought and experienced during the run including the fact that I hate for people to see me on the road.

"You don't know them."
(hmmm, true enough but still....)

I attempted to continue my monologue:

"For me, it's just as much mental as it is physical...."
"MENTAL?" , the 12 year old athlete asked incredulously,
"What's mental about it? You just run."

(My speechless blank expression goes here...)
