A runner is born
Posted On 6/9/2008 5:23:36 AM by TriFatlete
As I approached the Como Lake pavilion, I was being led straight to the gallows.
OK, not really. Actually, I was approaching a bunch of women dressed in running gear, their bodies twisted in complicated stretches. As I approached, I muttered to myself, "What am I doing here?"
Two weeks earlier, while writing a story about the Moving Solves Women's Running Club, I'd been struck by the over-abundance of perkiness in coach Kim Maxwell. That exuberance grew even more evident when she talked about how much she enjoyed training beginning runners at various fitness levels.

I'll Run for Donuts
Posted On 6/4/2008 6:28:38 PM by TriFatlete
This blog is about my two hobbies: eating donuts and running. Suprisingly, the two are related. I suppose my donut-love started when I was 15 and got a job at my dad’s friend’s Daylight Donut shop. Even before that, my dad would make homemade donuts for special occasions, like when we had a hankerin’ for donuts. I guess that explains why my Wranglers said “husky” on the tag. My love for running started in 2006 when we bought a treadmill. With a family to take care of and a family history of diabetes and heart disease, I figured that was a good time to change what could turn into a sour health situation later in life. I don't belong to a running club, but I do belong to the office donut club. I allow myself a donut if I've logged a minimum number of miles by donut day. So, run on! And stop to enjoy a donut along the way.

MarathonGuide.com - Marathon Recovery
Posted On 4/23/2008 12:46:40 PM by TriFatlete
Where is the problem in the following scenario? Jack meticulously plans and completes an ambitious two-month training program aimed at producing a PR at the greatest marathon the world has ever known, the Mecca of marathoning: Boston. Race weekend comes, Jack runs the race, and, when it's all over, he has accomplished his goal: a brand spanking new PR. Congratulations, Jack!
So far, so good. But what does Jack do after the race? He follows no definite plan. For several months, he oscillates between catching colds and warding off injuries as, caught in the postrace letdown, he apathetically tries to resume serious training. He doesn't return to a systematic training program until four months after the race.

Run Tri: Boston Marathon 2008: What to Expect
Posted On 4/16/2008 8:18:22 AM by TriFatlete
Boston. The Citgo sign. 25.2 miles behind you. One Mile To Go. That's when it will really hit you. You are just minutes away from finishing the greatest marathon in the world. As you run those final minutes to the finish line, begin celebrating your own personal independence. You trained for months or even years to get to this point. And there you will be. Completing something that you once considered impossible, even ridiculous. A marathon, 26.2 miles. But not just any marathon. The legendary Boston Marathon. Will it be everything you expected? Absolutely. Here's how and why.

The sights, sounds and community of the Dublin marathon is captured by American runner Karen Embree. What happens when 10,000-plus runners venture out for 26.2 miles, laughing, crying, eating, running and even whining together? It doesn't really matter where we travel to, what language is spoken, the color of skin, the age, size or shape of the people. A marathon is a marathon is a marathon.

How to hack a marathon
Posted On 10/24/2006 10:28:34 AM by Sandy
We always remember our first marathon. Here is a one persons story/journey through his first marathon. He quotes to begin the article: "This weekend I ran the Chicago marathon, my first marathon ever. Before I completed the 26.2 miles, I knew marathons can be a grueling test of will and a ridiculous punishment for your body. What I didn't know is that it's an experience well worth the punishment."

This is a brand new web site that allows runners to share their
marathon or half marathon stories. The stories are interesting, but the
best part is being able to search for people just like you -- same age,
same gender, same speed, etc. In addition, runners can comparison shop for running gear to get the
best deals on shoes, clothing, etc., and see what running gear other
runners recommend

Posted On 6/26/2006 11:02:37 PM by Sandy
So, you decide to go out and run. You put on your shirt, shorts and running shoes. Looking outside you see that it is a great day to run. Nothing can stop you now. Check the watch, yep all is ok, make sure you have a hat because it is sunny out. Things are looking perfect, yet it is taking a long time to get out the door. Yes, the little voice in your head is telling you to sit down and have a beer.

I've had the luxury of running in the Rocky Mountains as the blue skies welcomed a radiant orange sunrise. I've also felt the misty water from the Oregon coast as I ran along the beach with sea lions sounding in the distance. Leaf laden paths through the woods of northern Michigan? Been there. Done that.
