If you have a young son, you will more than likely be familiar with the metal encased superhero IronMan. Billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist Tony Stark and his amazingly cool toys. IronMan's suit made from space age materials and technology allows Stark to battle villains from this worlds and beyond.
What powers this super suit is a miniature ARC reactor created by Stark while held captive in a cave. Its the telltale light emitting from his chest that lets you know its an IronMan suit.
By the time IronMan 3 rolled around the ARC reactor had taken on a few different shapes. One of the suits displays a triangle on the chest.
This is where I actually make a connection to my run tonight and the rambling of my blog.
During a physical therapy session that My Baby Girl had a few weeks ago, the PT (which is also my wife's extremely cool boss) talked to her (and me I suppose) about proper running techniques. He discussed that when you are running properly with your arms and legs in sync, you also have your chest expanded correctly. He described it as an upside down triangle and how you should always have it "open".
Now this explanation is much better in person and I know I did a horrible job of trying to describe it myself. But the whole thing reminded me of IronMan's suit in the latest installment of the movie.
Now when I run, I'm not saying that its anything like IronMan...in fact its more like Darth Vader. A lot of difficult breathing sounds.
Tuesday night was suspended due to feeling crappy.
Tonight was horrible, couldnt even finish a full 3 miles and I stopped to walk twice.
