Among all the changes that pertain to running shoes, there is one thing that remains constant. When you find a shoe that you like....the company will change it.

Outstanding race! Exclamation

Sounds like you have the pacing issues worked out pretty well. Do you have another race on the schedule?

Well, I placed 4th overall and third in the men's group. The overall winner was a former member of the South Korean Women's Olympic team, so I'm not going to complain about that...

Ward's Worthless Opinion is that short easy runs Monday and Tuesday would be fine. I like the idea of a few strides on Tuesday. That would keep the legs loose but not burn up too much energy for Wedne ...

Well, to date, I have trained 20+ miles each of the last 3 weeks (and probably the last 4, but lost a week's worth of data to computer gremlins.)

This is very good for me, considering that two mont ...
