But Kevin will not be posting today. I am his PA, Cliff.
Mr. Antcliff is currently in bed, unable to move his legs. You see, he went running for the first time since April of 2001 last night, and though he did OK, he's in severe pain right now. On a 1-mile trek, he ran for the first tenth, walked for the next 2-3, ran for another 1/2 tenth or so, walked some more...you get the picture.
Kevin does want me to share with you that he is very proud of himself for a few reasons:
1. He never stopped moving. He was either running or briskly walking the entire time.
2. He came close to quitting easily three or four times, but he did not allow it to beat him.
3. He's looking forward to doing this again tomorrow, if he can move his legs.
He also thinks he might need a new scale. He weighed himself three times in five minutes this morning to test it, and his results were - in order - 325, 330, and 326. Scales are expensive, however, and Kevin fears he'll step on a good one and find his weight is actually much higher than he's believed it to be to this point.
Just another challenge for him to face.
He says he might be able to post later, but for now, he needs his profin and a leg rub.
Until then,
Cliff

Cliff, ask Kevin if he stretched out for 10 minutes before going for that run. Sounds a LOT familiar to the leg pain that I had when I didn't stretch out, and didn't have the right shoes on.
Also, tell him that we're proud of him for doing it. Running on concrete is 10 times harder than anything we do in the gym.
I...er...HE stretched out, but probably not for 10 minutes. He just tried to loosen some things up before he hit the road. He'll stretch more next time.
Good job, Kev!! For the first time in a (very) long time, you did great. Just keep working up from here and you'll be able to run 5K with ease in no time. Well, as much "ease" as there can be in running.
Kev, I'm really impressed! You might not have the "legs of the Tiger" just yet but I'm sure you have the "Eyes of the Tiger". Keep it up! You're an inspiration!
Wow, I wish he's okay by now. Go for it Kevin!
(And thanks for the news flash Cliff...)
