Sinkholes, shoe shopping, and spectating

August 24th, 2007

Sinkhole that trapped man is now barricaded Linden and I ran past this sinkhole on the Galloway Trail this morning. Just think, if Heather, Linden, and I had ran north instead of south Wednesday morning, we would’ve ran past this guy? I wonder if we’d have heard him; we’re pretty gabby.

5 Things: Choosing New Running Sneaks I’m pretty pleased with this articles from Fit Sugar. I also recommend going to an actual running store where the employees are runners. They know what they’re talking about and can offer running advice you’ll never get at a big-box athletic store. Definitely talk to them about how to lace your shoes; I had some heel slippage with my latest pair (and corresponding blisters) before Craig, my personal training friend, advised me on how to lace up.

Marathon Spectating Dos and Don’ts I’m running my first half marathon on November 4, and attendance is required for immediate family. This will be their first half marathon, too, and this article is spot on. Runners hate thinking about how far they have left to go, but we love to hear what awaits us at the end. Personally, I’d love to hear how great my sexy calves look or how awesome I’m running.
