The original purpose of this blog is to provide some entertainment and tips for new and not so new runners. It's now evolved to an all purpose blog or repository for stories and pictures.

Injury Report
For the last week, I've been fighting an injury to my left quad and glute. Literally a "pain in the butt." Yesterday, the doctor told me she thought it was a minor tear and gave me some anti-inflamatories and told me to not run. I did take the pills and managed to get in a decent run today. I will take the next day off and ride a bike.

Best Book For Self Coached Runners by Brad Hudson
Run Faster from the 5k to the Marathon by Brad Hudson
I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. I use it as a reference all the time and although I try real hard to be original on this site, it and Brad have influenced my thinking on a number of training issues. Please, if you run and plan to race, get this book. Brad's facebook address is listed below.
