Snail's Pace


Saw this little dude on my long run this morning. I think he's onto something with that streamlined, aerodynamic shell-situation going on. I think we can learn a few running lessons from snails... which is what I thought about for the remaining mile of my run.

1. If you can't go fast, you may as well be "slick."
2. Stay off of busy paths whenever possible.
3. It doesn't matter how quickly you get to the finish line, as long as you don't dry out before you get there.
4. If the conditions outside aren't ideal, or seem a little scary, stay inside the house.

  1. It would be nice to take a "house" with me on some of my longer runs... a nap and a snack and I'd be good to go again!
