But if you enjoy running as much as I do, what's wrong with continuing to do it even if you are no longer one of the best?" - Steve Scott | | Add Comment |

Good training run. Any run when you come back and your shoes are a different color is a good run.

The hour I spend each day as an ascetic, short of water and feeling the slight discomfort of genuine effort, provides me with the strength to know that I can live with less than the world would have me believe." - Dean Ottati | | Add Comment |

Ran a group training run on the Pinhoti 100 course today with several friends from Huntsville. The best guess on how far we went is 23-24. The run started a little after the 18 mile mark on the race course and wound through the Pinhoti course, including running up Mt. Cheaha. Needless to say, it was a fairly hilly, moderately technical course; couple that with a shortage of water at water stops, and it made for a pretty difficult run. In any case, it's always good to get out on the course before a race to see what I'm up against.
