Really? Seriously? No Schmitz? Duh?
No Duh!
I know yall believe it, but do you believe it? Has it hit home with ya?
This weekend I was all set to be a running God. I was the lone male running at Croom with 4 beautiful ladies. I was all set to show them how a "real man" runs. It was going beautifully for
quite a while. I led them on the 4-Mile Withrow Loop, they were not familiar with this one, so I showed them the way. Next we set out for the 15 mile orange loop and I happily led the way. I felt good, I felt strong and I'm pretty sure I was being revered by those lovely ladies 4. I was on cruise control, for 12 miles .....

Then the weekend caught up with me. Friday, work all day, chaperone an all night field trip to 
Universal Studios. Home at 4 AM Saturday. Sleep by 4:30 AM. Up at 6 AM, to Alifia State Park by 7 AM. Work Adventure race from 7 AM - 7 PM on Saturday. 7 - 8 PM two beers with Jim at Applebees (I do like my two-fers!). Home at 9 PM. Asleep by 9:30. Meet my gals at 4:45. Meet more at 5:30 AM, start run at 5:40 AM on Sunday.

Furthermore, I ran like a guy that had 7 hours of sleep over two days.
For this week I vow to eat a nutritionally sound diet and get some quality rack time. Because you can't be a running God if you are living like a pagan party plodder!

Hmmm, this novel idea doesn't make much sense to me. But you might be onto something there.
Maybe you could write for a sports journal or nutrition magazine about your epiphany...I bet you could make millions selling advice like that!
Hey, if there are millions to be made, I'll make them! Henceforth, keep your good advice to yourself! Better yet, e-mail the good advice to me (www.karnoisgod.dean.com)
