Deb is joining the track team, but hasn't had her physical yet so won't be starting on the same day that the rest of the team starts. Apparently, her coach is OK with that. But it was mentioned that, in order to be ready, she needs to be running at least 30 minutes a day.
Above and beyond gym class.
So, guess what Dad and Deb are going to do today?
That's right! We're going to run!
Actually, we're going to warm up, which is a mixture of stretching and jogging and running and sprinting, just to see where we are with all this exercise stuff. If you remember from last summer, we had gone to the track and done some running (which is where we discovered that there were actually some good runners in the family), so this isn't totally a foreign concept to us. We know the drill.
So we will start out with some stretching; then we'll do a bit of walking. As soon as our limbs feel limbered up, we'll start jogging a bit, til we feel a bit "in the groove". Then we'll slow down to a walk again, stretch out our legs a bit, rinse, repeat.
I can't wait to see how it all turns out. It's kind of exciting to have someone in the family who is interested in running. I just wish my Dad was here to help her!
