Blog deficiency, try to make up with running...

I have not done my blogging duty.  Haven't been riding the bike much.  What have I been up to?  Redecorating and Running, Reminiscing (I made up the last one to make it three R's).

Been running pretty well on the weekends, doing my 10 mile route around Lake Chabot.  It's a really nice trail, 1/3 asphalt, 1/3 firetrails, 1/3 single track.  My first time doing the route a month ago, the crazies were out doing a 50 mile run.  You know when your running mechanics are falling apart and you're wearing a backpack that maybe you're running too far.

I talk to some runners at the finish, cause I didn't immediately know the distance though the death masks gave away some kind of 'ultra'.  I make the mistake of commenting that I just did my (small) 10 mile run to which this runner says: 'Don't worry, you'll get better...'.  Endeavor to improve.  Thanks.

I think you should only run as far as you keep running at a certain pace.  Otherwise you're dragging your legs, leading to more injuries and generally less enjoyment.  We have an unfortunate approach to running in the country these days.  It's binary: you either run a marathon or you don't run at all.  With that philosophy people are less likely to keep it up as a healthy life style, opting instead for a six month stint and the honor of saying they've finished one.

this is so right on (about running)!

i used to run xc & track...and post college it became annoying, as 5k & 10k are only "stepping stones" for marathons, and anytime you said you were doing a race, people always one-up with the marathon. so annoying. i think that whole run/walk marathon training is a piece of shit and i've seen a bunch of people finish marathons who don't have the fitness to be doing so and just hurt themselves in the long run.

hi fellas. I'm really into shoes and I was searching for that particular model. The prices for the sneakers are approximately 230 dollars on every page. But finally I bring about this location selling them for the benefit of half price. I absolutely love these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably buy these. what can you tell me about these?
