I’m in good shape. NOT in great shape.

I found this out yesterday.

I ran the Lilac 10K and today I am in AGONY.

Around the 4 mile mark, my calves started to cramp up.

I guess substituting water with Mt. Dew all last week was a bad idea.

I guess eating fast food for lunch 4 out of 5 days last week wasn’t the best strategy.

I guess getting less that 6 hours of sleep the night before was less than optimal.

So today, I’m walking around like my father. Limping, straining, groaning.

Today, I go back to choosing health. Back to the Downtown Fitness Club with more regularity. Back to running at least 3 times a week. Back to paying more attention to what I intake.

I’ve got my sights on the Rochester Marathon in September.

I won’t make it through on a steady diet of Baconator burgers from Wendy’s.

26.2 miles. Wish me luck!
