Phase Duration

By Jason • Aug 19th, 2008 • Category: Jason's Training Log

Scenario: Rabbit running East on Washington St. rockin’ out to Ice-T’s “Colors”. Nothing on his mind except running and breathing. In the middle of a cross road intersection there is a loud honk.

Result: Rabbit jumped liked he was being goosed by Chris Farley. He was scared to death for a split second and worried that anyone saw him jump like his 4-year old daughter.

The driver behind the honk was none other than HardyBreed Kim. Kim, do me a favor, when you are giving a friendly honk make it a couple of VERY short honks. Long honks are for pissed-off, cigarette-smoking, wife-beater-wearing, angry, old men. To put it into your medical terms make them, with short phase durations. In all seriousness, thanks for the hello. I appreciate it.

I ended my run with 6.5 miles under my belt with an average pace of 07:43.

  1. LOl. I thought you looked a little frightened. I thought short honks were for “hey Baby”. Thats usually what I get. Sorry, I will remeber next time, and nice job on the run!

  2. Ya, I don’t get “Hey Baby” much anymore unless I am with my 2-year old.

  3. I always get “Hey, f@660t!” It must be the shorts.

  4. that was you aaron? sorry about that! yeah, you’re right it is the shorts.

  5. Steven, I’m really sorry I over-reacted and threw that lawn gnome through the rear window of your car. The shorts are a bit tight and make me slightly humorless in the middle of my workouts.

  6. I can take the honking and yelling–its the flying beer cans that whiz bye when I say enough’s enough!
