No one loves you when you’re down and out…..?

Not a good day, not a great start to the weekend….

Had a good morning….oh boy, can I talk…..

Started off the day with waffles with my daughter, threw a few hoops….and then, well, I talks (lol)to my Zoom clinic crew….my crew?

This morning’s topic….foam rollers, stretching, strength, hill repeats, VO2 Max, max heart rate……and how to make running fun..

Okay, we/I talked a lot……

I don’t know why that always surprises me…me talking, and well, people listening….

Boy, once I start, it’s hard to stop…and I never know,,,,,this morning…10AM, it began, I thought maybe 30 minutes..an hour later I was still talking and sharing…

I’ve been running, um, run clinics for a long time……and the more I do, the more I get what everyone wants…

Sometimes it’s hard, especially with everything virtual, via Zoom, I never know who’d be in the clinic, it could be some that are taking their first stride, some returning after time away, some a lot of experience (so why are they taking a run clinic?) and trying to keep all happy…

Yes, yes, yes, I do this for a company that sells things…so, I do have a certain obligation to talk about product…running shoes, clothing, watches, odds and ends……I do try to add all of that with more of a purpose, less product, more reason…..biomechanics not footwear…….for instance…

I have been running, training, doing this all for a long time…….I’ve gone through hundreds of talks by others, and you learn things….

I’ve learned, or have come to understand what most want, is permission to run…some yes, have goals, so permission to run towards those goals…….

How to run, why, where and when, how much, but all about running…..that’s why this morning, lots of stuff, running stuff, basic stuff, basic training…..and then training….

over the years, it seems that every one seems to have a way, and idea how to make this, running easier….when seriously, it’s just about running….you want to be a runner, you have to, run?

It’s not always easy, some times harder, very hard…but its a process…..

so, yep, I run, and I talk
