Today is national running day in the USA. Don't know what you're supposed to do to celebrate, so I took the obvious option and went for a run. I am now up to 5.5 miles three times a week. But my running is slow: it takes me an hour. Assuming I could keep this tortoise-like rate going throughout a marathon, I would still be at the back with the person dressed as an Ostrich.
So, my resolution for national runners' day is to revamp my running goals. I am going to strive to run a marathon each week by aggregating my miles. A bit like air miles but for feet. And I'm going to try to run more than 5 miles in less than an hour. Blimey, doesn't sound like much of a celebration this runners day thing...does it?
Ok, ok. Let's try again. I am going to drink one glass of wine for each weekly mile...a much more enjoyable goal. And following the spirit of the air miles thing, for every 10 miles I can have a bonus cocktail. Given my talent at marathon drinking, I just need to align my running goals with my consumption of alcoholic beverages. There we go...Happy Happy Runners Day to you all!
By the way, if this all sounds too much, Friday is National Donut Day...
