When I got back from my run I actually had energy left. I decided to do a jumping workout. I jumped up and down onto a cement retaining wall at my house, which is roughly 18 inches high. I went fast, like a kangaroo. I did a rep of 20, then a second strong rep. I was feeling energized so I thought to myself " I'm going to finish a 3rd rep of 20, and I am going to go hard. I went hard right to the end of 11, counting is overrated anyways.
On Sunday I did not go for a run. It is important that I post what I do not do for this blog. Such as I do not shave everyday, I maybe shave every 3rd or 4th day. I do not do flips on trampolines, as I almost knocked myself out cold trying one as a teenager. I do not eat black licorice because I really don't like it. I do not do roundhouse kicks because I am not Chuck Norris, although maybe after running consecutively I will indeed become Chuck Norris, or Optimus Prime. I hope it is Optimus Prime as it would save on having a truck payment.
On Monday things got interesting. We invited two more people to come running with us. We were trying to avoid the Ambiguously Gay Duo nickname that had been going around. We were Batman and Robin, not Ace and Gary, but some people didn't see it that way. I know what you are thinking, " but you said you would not tell anyone where your secret meeting spot is, you know the bat cave." Don't worry the bat cave location is still intact. Robin and I made sure that we met up at the bat cave, and then went somewhere else to meet the new guys. No one tricks Batman or Robin. Some people trick Alfred, but he is an old man, it happens.
As Robin and I came around the corner to the fake meeting place, cheers erupted from the new guys. They had signs that said " Hey you still look fat even though you lost weight," and " You almost run as well as a girl now." They might actually not have done anything, and we possibly might have just shaken hands upon our arrival. Chris O Donnell and I decided to show these guys what to do, they are both older than I am so we were feeling pretty good about our chances of prancing around like ballerinas. Yes when men jog together they actually prance around like ballerinas. Unbeknownst to us, they were formidable opponents, just like the Grandma Prime Rib Burger. Formi doublee, because there were two of them. I did a little bit of interval running again, which consists of me running as fast as I can, waving my arms out to the side and making jet plane noises. I did this two times. The second time I did it, I ended up walking the last little while and everyone ran past me, even those two new guys. I was tired, not necessarily from the run, but from the poor sleep that I had taken part in the previous night. My beautiful daughters decided to have troubles going to bed, and I got, at the most 3 hours of sleep.
As important as it is to get the recommended 11 hours of sleep a night, that is my new recommendation for everyone, it was more important for me to get up and go for a jiggity jog. Anyways moral of the story go to bed early and wake up early in order to better yourself. Or you could stay up late, sleep in all the time and eat ice cream for breakfast. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I may be on to something. It, going to bed early and such, makes a world of difference, and will help you to win gold at the Olympics. Ya running a normal marathon is for
If these guys become regulars for the flock I will have to give them superhero names, like Speedy Gonzalez, or Peter Cottontail. I should have given Peter, the Peter Cottontail nickname. Darn it.
2020 Olympics here we come.
