Running Long Distances Again

This past weekend it occurred to me I hadn’t consistently run long distances since I last trained for and ran the Oklahoma Memorial Marathon in 2001.

With my children all in school now, I decided I could again carve out the time necessary for running longer distances.

Even though I haven’t been running long distances, I still have ran five miles at a time several times a week since running the 2001 marathon.

Four years ago, I also started working out with a personal trainer because I concluded running in and of itself hadn’t strengthened my entire body.

To my surprise, four years of weight training has made a significant difference in my ability to run long distances.

Saturday I ran 10,000 meters. Sunday I ran 10.0 miles.

Running each distance this past weekend was much easier than when I had first attempted to run either 10k or 10 miles.

There are both psychological and physical barriers which impede levels of performance.

I am pleased to report after having run 10k and 10 miles this past weekend, I have fewer or both.

Time to go now, I gotta run…

From the Dealbook Blog:

“Dubai has relied on cheap capital from abroad to finance its grand vision to become both a tourist attraction and a financial capital. Much of that money, combined with the oil wealth of neighboring Persian Gulf states, was used to finance dozens of luxurious apartment buildings as well as monumental projects like the world’s tallest building, the world’s largest airport, the world’s biggest mall and several man-made, palm-shaped islands.

Now the emirate is facing one of the world’s largest debt loads: its current debt level stands at $80 billion or roughly 1.5 times its gross domestic product.”
