Failure To Launch

My wife rented a DVD today entitled Failure to Launch. I saw bits and pieces of it and it seemed to be about a guy who at the age of 32 was still living with his parents. I noticed Terry Bradshaw had a role as the father. Terry is my 6th cousin twice removed by marriage on my mother’s side. The only thing we seem to have inherited is the same hair color and hairline.
Anyway this story is not about the DVD, but the title reminded me that some of you out there have not gotten started with your running, hence you have failed to launch. What you get from the upcoming season will depend on how much exercise you get this summer. By exercise I don’t necessarily mean all running. You can bike, swim, walk/hike etc, anything aerobic. Mix and match – cross train.
Workouts will be tailored to your fitness level when you arrive on the first day of practice August 21, so you can do nothing until then or very little, or much more. Please don’t show up the first week and try to run with those who have been working out when you haven’t. You might have a successful launch, but after a week you will crash.

Opportunity to launch: This Saturday July 15 we will be running at Kennedy Creek. Meet at Capital High at 8:40 am carpool to the Chevron Station on Steamboat Is. Rd. by 9:00 then head to Kennedy Creek. Parents, siblings and dogs welcome and it is okay to walk.
