August Pain

I encourage WebTeam members to submit entries for this blog. br /br /Here is one from Dan Packman (alias Stein Lager). I feel his pain.br /br /br /Stein is enjoying a working vacation in Wisconsin, taking stock of thebr /countless orange construction cones and abundance of overweightbr /mid-westerners. Curious and bored, he checks the local run racebr /calendar, which is brimming with local events. Alas, there is a fullbr /moon 5k this evening, just a stones throw from the hotel. Having notbr /run 1 step since November, Stein knows he will be in for some pain.br /The ski training running routine must start somewhere, so he lays downbr /a $20 in exchange for a race # and goodie bag. Eyeing the hordes ofbr /frothing high school xc runners, Stein lines up near the front andbr /sets off. Mile 1 goes by effortlessly in 5:25,at his best 5/10k pacebr /when he run trains. Stein eases off the gas to a pedestrian-like 6:00br /pace and cruises in with the 3rd woman at a sub-6 pace. Not too badbr /for his 2009 running debut. Stein hobbles the 1k back to the hotel forbr /cold bath and a colder beer.br /br /– br /Mr. Dan Packmandiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6589659500745667109-7189415069441572198?l=www.webskis.com%2Fwebskisblog.html’ alt=” //div
