Stop Short

Any Seinfeld fans out there? Well, I loved the show… actually I still love the show. Do you remember the show (Season 6 Episode 21 - The Fusilli Jerry) where George’s parents separate and Kramer is driving Estelle home from having her eye surgery and performs the “stop short” maneuver after hitting a pothole? I love that one!

No, that doesn’t have anything to do with running. The title just reminded me of my run today. I’ve been doing a four mile run for two weeks now and today it was only about three and three quarters of a mile. I just couldn’t make it; I had to stop short. I don’t know what’s going on. If you take a look at my log you’ll see that I’ve been waning in my frequency of running. I can also feel a decrease in my strength and endurance during my run. Perhaps I need to drop back down to a shorter distance and work on some cardiovascular training a bit. Then I can bump it back up to the longer distance again. I’ll try and do some research tonight and see what turns up.
