Back in the running

It is that time of the year- when new resolutions get made. Running and romance are always on the list.

Running along the Prairie Path

One really nice attraction of DuPage County is the Prairie Path. It has several spurs, and the paths are great for distance running or biking.

Weighty thoughts

Runners gain weight easily the moment they stop running. Yesterday I noticed that I had gained 5% just because I had not run for a week. Hope to reverse that trend over the next few weeks.

Lost in Love...

Can be difficult to find one's way when one is lost in love...unfortunately the break-ups break one up. One has to say Yes- to Owner of a Lonely Heart.

The "Sole" of a Runner

Runners are a special breed, especially the long distance ones. They tend to be thinkers, and quite a few of them run alone. To run for two hours or longer takes mental strength, and good soles. The punishment given to the feet is quite intense.

Not down in Downers

One part of my running life that does not stand out is the year I spent in Westmont before moving to Naperville. Used to run on the side streets of Westmont and Dnwoners Grove, and on the track in one of the local schools. Used to run in the Morton Arboretum during the week- that helped a lot too.

Bill

Rodgers...is what a friend of mine compared me to, after we both ran for a while- it was perhaps the only time we ran together.
