So, I thought I’d offer up some other plans for them to laugh at.Core WorkI have tried to do more core work in the past, because I got to believe it makes a difference, but doing ab work just makes me fart more and any muscle in my gut just pushes out the flab.Cross-trainingI’ve been doing more biking, but I have found the greatest, most joyful and sweat inducing workout in the world. Skyzone- It’s one of those trampoline parks, and after just jumping for a few minutes I was near anaerobic and sweating out the soul of my childhood, and loving it.The greatest part was dodgeball. One of the top 10 moments of my millennium. Well, top 20 maybe, but still, you got to try trampoline dodgeball.

Cherry JuiceIt’s the new fad. Years ago it was chocolate milk for recovery, now all I’m reading about is Cherry Juice as the ultimate recovery drink with anti-inflammatory power. I plan to stop at all of those Cherry stands driving up north Michigan, and will count spitting out the seeds as training.A simplified playlist on my Ipod.5 miles runs = “I Love it” by Icona Pop on constant Repeat10 mile runs = “Man up” and “Hasa Diga eebowai” from Book of Mormon on constant Repeat20 mile runs = Shuffle the Led Zeppelin collection and the best from Glee.Anything else on my ipod is bad for my legs.
20 mile runs on tired legs
Rather than resting up like it's a race day itself, I plan to do my 20 milers after a fix or six mile day. Not exactly the Hanson's method, more like the drunken, black-sheep, long lost Hanson brother method.
Finally, A Tattoo
I plan to shave my back, and get a tattoo of my book cover inked all over me.
What hurts worse, getting a tattoo or running a marathon?
