Stop Pre

Steve Prefontaine at one time owned every American running record from 1,000 meters, 1,500 meters, 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters. His competitors made shirts like this…it never worked. They are legendary and currently available at U of Oregon’s bookstore.

Your body is a gift. Please don’t sacrifice it.

The right shoes facilitate an active life

The right shoes facilitate an active life.

In my opinion.

What’s your opinion?

If you don’t have one, that may be part of your challenge, and your opportunity.

Today begins run-one-mailbox-a-day-for a week

Swimming pool float
Took this photo yesterday to text Cheryl a question about our pool floats.

 

Today begins “run-one-mailbox-a-day-for a week”.

Why?

The rest-break from running has been 19 months – 18 months longer than intended, and it’s time to see if the rest worked.

Years of chronic foot pain prompted a last ditch effort to try a remedy (prolonged rest) i had never attempted.

Just came back from a super slow jog from our mailbox to our neighbor’s mailbox – roughly 100 meters.

PS. Today is opening day for the 2018 Masters Track and Field National Championships in Spokane, Washington.

Coincidence?

No.

Risk taking is key to transformational change

 

Risk taking is key to transformational change.

Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to run Boston faced a tough challenge – she wasn’t invited, she wasn’t welcomed, and some wanted her out, immediately.

What Kathrine did became a catalyst for what five years later was a transformational change in the Boston Marathon’s policy of “men only”.

Kathrine’s courage, and continued advocacy, eventually led to including a women’s marathon race in the Olympic Games.
