Running for beginners
08/28/2013
I do not run. I am not a beginning runner. I am not even a jogger. I may be inclined to say that I am a skipper. I don't understand that "runner's high" that runners describe when they get moving long-term and feel their endorphins push through - because I haven't gotten that yet. I am a walker. I can walk for miles and miles. I almost never feel the urge to run. How is that for honesty?
But. I may or may not have told someone that I like the svelte look of a runner's body. (And that maybe someday I could try?) Runner's legs are the shit. Not runny shit. Runner's legs. You know, all tight and muscley.
I saw this plan online today and realized that I could probably, maybe, perhaps handle this plan. I do not need to run a 5K, a half-marathon, or ever become a triathlete, but two or three solid minutes in a row of jogging without DYING the DEAD? Might be nice.
