Lumpy’s Running Wisdom

Lumpy here. Yeah, I’m running Paris ‘07 with Toots and Sally also. But I’m mostly just along for the ride. Oh, well, and I said I’d run a marathon. So here I am.

I thought I’d start out my offerings to the content here with: How to run 50 marathons in 50 days

No, I don’t plan on doing this. But maybe something here will be useful to just running 1 marathon in 1 day in Paris.

1. BE AUDACIOUS
2. GO LACELESS
3. FLIRT WITH DISASTER
4. EAT JUNK – LOTS OF IT
5. CUT BACK ON SLEEP
6. SHOW YOUR BODY WHO’S BOSS
7. GET A COOL WATCH
8. LEARN TO LOVE KRAZY GLUE
9. GET USED TO IT
10. PROMOTE THE HELL OUT OF YOURSELF
11. BREAK IT DOWN
12. AVOID KRYPTONITE

I’ll break these down from my perspective individually in the coming days. Oh, if you want a quick jump to the original article, you can find it here.

    Let me add to Lumpy’s running wisdom:

    13. Don’t overload on tamales before a run.

  2. 2 Lumpy

    I think that might better fit in Item #4 “EAT JUNK — LOTS OF IT”. But I’m sure there some factor about everything in moderation.

    We’ll explore the tamales effect when we go in depth into #4. Hold that thought!!!
