Competitive running

is a good way to push the body to its limit. But these days the entry fees push one to financial limits as well.

Morning or Evening

Which one is better for running? An evening run at the end of a hot day is very tiring, perhaps more so if one is outside for most of the day. Still, it feels good to ea a hearty dinner after a good hot run.

Steaming ahead

Going out for a hard run on a hot day right at noon can be downright warm, as it was today. However, compared to running twenty miles, a fast six miles on a steamy day is like downing a cold one.

The hot and seat of it

A hard run today has tired the body quite a bit- lack of practice easily reduces a system to shambles.

A Running Start

always helps, if one is oriented in the proper direction.

The fun runs

Running in Silicon Valley, from Stanford to HP and up on Las Gatos and Los Altos- is quite an experience. It is also tough on the body but exciting and quite relazing.

Running in the arboretum

Morton Arboretum is heaven on earth for runners. Working in Lisle it was wonderful to be able to run up to the arboretum and then run inside. Great training for races.
