Fast Twitch Running

Good morning.

Went for a nice rainy 6 mile run yesterday. I decided to wake up my fast twitch muscle fibers. The run started with my typical 1 mile warm up and then it was time to start the steady speed increase.

The more I ran the better the legs felt. The rain also felt good.

Sometimes I wonder what the people who are driving by me think of me. Do they think, "that guy is nuts?" I could care less. I just try to watch out for those huge water puddles on the road so a passing car can't throw a road wave at me. Kind of fun.

Today is a swim and bike day. I may just do all three tri disciplines today. Since I already will be swimming and biking my legs feel good enough today to practice a bike to run or brick workout.

" Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own, sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction."

* It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
