Saying I’m not the most limber guy out there is an
understatement, but I’ve been working on it…or at least trying to. I can’t do a
lunge without tipping over, a squat properly or sometimes even touch my toes.
I’ve been trying to do strength training for quite a while,
but it just never really got off the ground. Sure, I’d do it after a workout here and there, but that’d be just about it. Oh, and
these sessions would only last about 8 minutes.
That’s why when Hector said, we’d be adding a strength
training day to our Running 101 schedule, I was really looking forward to it. I’d
finally get to do the “little things” that I know I should be doing but don’t.
I’ve discovered that unless somebody is telling me to do something I don’t want
to, I won’t.
I need to accept that running alone will not make me a
better runner. Lunges, abs and other assorted strength workouts are needed for
this slug.
