Perhaps I'm a Runner?

Flash-foward several months again and I've discovered that this whole running thing is an addiction...and I've gotten Greg hooked. Muahahah. :>


Follow my journey as I prepare for the Chicago Marathon and get in tip-top shape. A far cry from my days as a fat kid that took like 25 minutes to run a mile in gym class. If only Mr. Simpson could see me now...

Pelvic Tilt

Tonight after I ran my 4, my personal trainer dude convinced me to have let this other guy analyze my running form.

Yeah. It was weird.

And nothing makes you feel like a fat a$$ more than having your butt video taped while you run. Believe me.

So anyway, the guy had some good points. He said that I'm a lazy runner [Gee, thanks.] and that I'm not tilting my pelvis up enough to let my legs fully extend when I run. True. I've thought and wondered about this before.

Okay, picture this: me standing there. Two guys trying to show me how to tilt my pelvis up.

"Squeeze your butt, like this."
"Uhm, I am squeezing my butt."

I just got the feeling that I was so fat the guy couldn't tell whether I was clinching or what. On top of that the analyzer guy spoke....really.... really..... slowly. And seemed distracted. By what, I have no idea.

So I'll try the whole tilt thing and we'll see where that gets me.

Distance: 4 miles.
