Besides developing a running program, I incorporated a companion strength training schedule. Muscle groups like the latissimus dorsi and the quadriceps required attention. Gotta keep that knee on track. Stretching followed and it hurt. Song sparrows, those nasty predators of bluebirds and others, chime in.
Feet touch the floor.
I shower then drink a cup of water. Apply sunblock and blister patches. I pull on running clothes made of special high-tech fabric. I step into running shoes and lace them to just the right tension. Breakfast consists of a whole wheat bagel spread with fruit jam, a cup of sports drink, and half a banana.
