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.

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...

Do your warmup close to the latrine.

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.)
