Odometry III
So in the upcoming continuing saga of Bungaglow Beck and Nyet, I will surely tell you the tales of meeting up with Rice friends in Virginia. And without naming names - I think it should be obvious to the people involved on both sides - some of our friends have become Macy's Parade versions of their college selves, while others have slimmed down considerably. One name to name is Brett - there's a pretty famous (in our circles) picture of him from one of our college nights back at lovett, circa fall 1996. The theme was Mount Olympus, and Brett painted himself gold. And in 1996, a gold-painted 19 year old Brett was a sight of sights - the word "Adonis" came readily to mind before the paint job, but the gilded Brett and the picture that captured him served to emblazen our memory with that association.
Fast-forward to 2007, at our wedding, and it would have been a bad idea for Brett to invest in gold spray cans. "I was fat," Brett started a sentence this past weekend, and he ended it with, "And I didn't want to be anymore." 2008, wedding edition Brett was decidedly not fat, back to 1996 Adonis standards, an impressive feat: we asked him how he did it, and he replied that he had run a marathon. And not just "run a marathon" - he had gone from effectively being unable to run a mile to running a 3:58 marathon, an impressive nine minutes pace over the course of the entire 26.2. Damn!!!
SO that was more than a little inspiring, on both sides - both the "Like Brett, if I could be like Brett" angle and the startling desire to not view the streets of New York aerially. So after doing a reasonable job going running over the past 1.5 weeks of vacation:
Saturday: 4 miles on a treadmill
Monday: 3 miles (in 103, 98% barf North Carolina weather)
Wednesday: 3 miles (ditto)
Friday: 5 miles (in 98, 98% marginally more pleasant Virginia weather)
I have decided to attack the next month and on into the future and get back into mid 90s...
