The Seventy Five Minute Ten K Dilemma I started running in search for Inner Healing. I remember when my Marriage went Terminus, all I wanted to do is crawl into a Cave with the Cricket and the Bats. I connected with a Caving Guru and we spent six hours inside of Schneider's Cave. Since the demise of my marriage, I've had two relationships that ended badly. The loss of these two schmucks is no big deal. The deal is "Why did I invest so much time and energy into a losing venture?" Cry A River, Build A Bridge, Get Over It. God Grant Me the Serenity to Accept the Things I cannot Change Courage to Change the Things I can and Wisdom to know the Difference I don't want any more broken marriage, no more broken relationships and no more broken hearts and no more schmucks. God has granted me the Wisdom to know that I CAN'T FIX IT Thus I am focusing on another direction. The past Two Years, My Entire Life has been WORK with minimal Social Life and NO LOVE LIFE!!! I would rather have No Love Life than waste energy with a Schmuck. There are not a whole lot of caves in Virginia so I am running instead with the goal of making 15 Minutes a Mile. On New Year's I ran a 5K in 51 Minutes. 51 divided into 3.106 = 16.42 per minutes per mile. Last month on St. Patrick's Day Weekend, I met my in Virginia Beach and we ran an 8K. I drove 200 miles, didn't eat that day, slept a few hours, utilized a 3 Hour Energy Drink that morning and ran the Event in One Hour and 22 Minutes 60 plus 28 = 88 Minutes Divided into 4.97 equals 17.70 minutesper mile. I just signed up a run a 10K on May 7th. After paying the registration Fee, I read that runners are required to Finish the race in under 75 Minutes. Gadzooks! 10 K is 6.21. 75 Minutes divided by 6.21 is 12.077 per Mile. I am no near close to my goal of 15 Minutes per mile and they want me to do it in 12.07 Minutes per Mile. So............ Should I wuss out and ask to be placed in a 5K or risk ticking them off when I run it in over 75 Minutes. On a Happier Note! My work hours have changed to the point where I can actually have a Social Life. I joined a Training Group with the intent to run a Marathon in Washington D.C. on October the 30th. My Social Life will improve. I am not worried about the Love Life. God will fix it only if God wants to fix it. I am not asking God for anything. He does what he want to regardless. Life on Life's Terms  Abracadabra  |

Run the 10k like you signed up for. Don't worry about the time constraints they may want to place on you. As for your social life I can't Say to much. I have none either. And I"m not sure mine will improve.
