the pedometer lies. twice around secaucus is six miles. And I'm super tired.
Well, I think I'm discovering things about my legs that I didn't know before. Like this whole propelling yourself forward acrossed the face of the earth thing. One thing you don't have to do on the treadmill is propel yourself. You can safely bounce up and down and the treadmill moves beneath you. On land, you must propel yourself forward in order to move. And I think I'm beginning to get that.
I think the thing I was experimenting with this time was having longer strides. I was reading that runners generally have strides that are longer than they are. If this is so, then 48 inches is kinda short for me.
I'm playing around with stretching my legs more. Finding ways to conserve forward momentum in my legs. Like some sort of perpetual motion machine.
