1. Take a week off from running, then run one slow 5k. Take two more days off.
2. Eat a bunch of cupcakes a couple of hours before your run.
3. Down two giant glasses of water just under an hour before you head out. This will ensure your need to urinate badly at mile 0.5.
4. Wait until 4pm on a hot and humid day. Make sure the sun is as bright as it possibly can be.
5. Choose a route that does not have any shade.
The result? Only going half as far as you wanted, and the half you do will be slower than any other run this year.
The good part? You went out and ran.
Distance: 3.11 miles

LOL. I especially like #3. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, not the ideal situation. But you're right -- you got out and ran! Good for you!
