The excitement was in the air. Chad and I got up uber early, hit some oatmeal with some whey protein added to it, based on a suggestion. Figured I could test that today. Why not? An hour later, we both hit some chia seeds with some honey and lime. Yummy. Off to the race!
After a couple weeks, I went on a slow run with a friend Josiah, who was a roommate at the time. He was interested in running and going minimal as well but hadn’t quite gone all the way. We went running through the local neighborhoods, talking along the way when low and behold we had run nearly 3 hours! I was so pumped that I could FINALLY go some distance! I just had to slow down it seemed! Let’s see how I could overdo it again now, totally forgetting my attempt at being safe, steady and patient! A side note: Josiah took his shoes off for the last half mile that day and ran it bare all the way home. Damn, man! Well done!
