run, jack, run...a 3-step guide

I mentioned in yesterday's blog post that my boy has a passion for speed- running, in particular. he is the fastest little boy on 2 legs & i believe this is due to his methodology. if you, too, would like to attain such swiftness, here is a simple 3-step guide:
first- begin with your knees bent, crouched down slightly. count aloud, "1....2....3(which can sometimes be omitted)...GO!"
second- after you take off from the starting position be sure to pump your right arm back & forth as fast and as hard as it will go. your left arm, you ask? that stays stationary. bent & attached to your side. the motion of one arm will propel you to speeds you didn't know could exist. also, it is important to note that your feet must be slightly turned in.
third- as you near your destination, be sure to keep looking back over your shoulder at the competition. this will cause you to stumble and stray off course....we like to call this move the drunken sailor. don't worry. it's intentional. you will still win the race.
finish up- in 1st place...duh- by slamming your body into whatever solid structure is closest to the finish line. lastly, and perhaps most crucial, shout, " I got you!" at the top of your lungs to notify the competition of your victory.
if you live in the chattanooga area, lessons are given free of charge every evening. if not, i'm fairly certain the expert can be made available to answer your questions.
excuse the poor photo quality..i'm in desperate need of a new camera & i'm doing my very best to work on the Mister....subtle, no?
