Weekends were made for Michelob

weekend bicycling
Yesterday, a Saturday, at school.

 

Weekends were made for Michelob. A 1977 commercial and it’s tag line made me think about a similar tag line:

Weekends were made for bicycling.

We have been bicycling regularly (though nothing major) throughout the summer. But with the advent of High School, the only time available is on the weekends.

It’s too hot after the sun comes up. And after school is iffy because of common Florida thunderstorms.

So the freshman gets up early on the weekends.

Did Isaac Newton exercise?

Map My Run screen shot
Yesterday’s run included 10 miles of negative splits before backing off the pace.

 

What if impossible really is nothing?

Isaac Newton is remembered for saying the obvious:

A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion.

Back to back excellent interval workouts had me wanting feeling a change was necessary yesterday.

Some LSD.

Some long, slow, distance.

Maybe a 10-11 miler.

A different turn about four miles in would provide a route not run before. How far would it be?

It turned out to be 16.1 miles.

(The 40 classrooms are only for the ninth grade center – somewhere between 1,300 and 1,400 ninth graders.)

Exercising like you mean it means a victory over this:

It means a victory over having inactivity being our lifetime habit.

Inactivity must be replaced with it’s opposite, activity.

Why does it seem like the obvious choice isn’t obvious?
