In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Tropical storm Fay is hitting Alabama. A steady rain started in mid-morning and hasn't let up yet. Tried out a mix from Podrunner (itunes). Its techno dance with a consistent cadence. In this case it was 180 bpm. This led me to start out the lunch run at a quick pace, my fastest pace in over a month. 3 miles at less than 7 min/mile. Felt pretty good. The rain made it fun. I slowed down and did my pushup workout (12,12,9,7,11) with 60 seconds of jog recovery.
