I was mighty proud of my Mizuno 15K run. I finished at 1:25 by my watch and the official giant timer. That they agree is a feat by itself as it doesn’t happen very often. However, when I looked at the official results at http:mizuno.ph, my time was at 1:28! Huh!? Darn, I should have known! The time included the line up to get the finisher shirt!
I thought, okay, somebody certainly slept on the job for 3 minutes. I forgive him. I sleep for more than that in the office.
According to Bards’ blog, Mr. Biscocho would make the corrections. I will wait for that. I know that he’s one of the best run organizers around so I trust that I will still see my correct time.
A day before the Infinity Run, I bought the book, Run Less Run Faster. It’s an incredible book. I just read Chapter 1 and my time on the 15K improved to 1:25 (my PB was at 1:35). I can just imagine how I’ll run when I’ve read the whole book. I’m sure it will even be better if I actually do what the book says. Right now, the hook for me is the” Run Less” part. I’m trying to find the part where it says, run only once a year and I will finish the 42K in under 3 hours. When that happens, I will tell you all about it (did I just assume that there are other people reading this blog aside from me? Hmmm… maybe my schizophrenia is coming back. Time to visit my psychiatrist…).
But seriously, if the book can really help me improve my run time, I will put a plastic cover on it. That will not only show my appreciation but will protect it as well when I carry it during my runs. In my last run with it, I spilled Gatorade on the back cover.
