The first mile or the first warm up set LIES! Every morning that "first move" gets out in front and screams about how lousy it feels, how heavy it has become, how stiff you are, how out of breath and you haven't even gotten going. But know this...it's a damn lie! I have gotten use to ignoring it and have become patient until the second and sometimes the third mile to determine what kind of session it is going to be.
