All right, Shamus, I FB'd you. NOW WHAT?
TD...it's a great preventive medicine, isnt' it? GB, I'll check out that book, thanks for the recommendation ....haha, BTS, I had forgotten all about Forrest's ultra-ultra-hyper marathon! Good stuff. I know what you mean about the endorphins, exwhyzee...my run yesterday was in just awful weather...went anyway, felt awesome. Gotta get some gloves, though. I'm noticing that everything warms up except my hands on cold-weather runs.
White Dove, if you go cross-country walking, you can swing by New England and visit, ok? And the critters, too. PaintedToeNail, power walking is great too...works a completely different set of muscles, like those buns. On my first 5k race, there were both runners and walkers, and the walkers' technique was amazing. There was this dude, about 7 feet tall, who walked the 5k in less than 20 minutes. Insane!
