(A) I am not a runner. This is why I regularly begin my morning by skipping rope for ten minutes or so — to get my blood circulating, keep my breath capacity at least marginally satisfactory, and so on.
(B) This morning I ran/walked a mile in thirteen minutes. Not exactly Roger Bannister, but it’s a start.
Dang! I’m impressed. I’m a fan of the Couch-to-5K program, with the caveat that I stay in week 1 forever.
