Good Running Book

Here is a good book that I want to read. Many people think that they cannot do a marathon. With the walk run method you can do it. My friend Shelly does this and it really works for her. In fact, she actually has a faster pace when she takes walk breaks. Here is the book

Running Until You're 100 Have you ever wanted to show a friend or relative solid research showing that runners have better joint health than non runners? This book has the studies, with how to adjust training, pacing, walk breaks, nutrition, running philosophy and lot's more. Noted sports dietitian Nancy Clark has nutrition information to sustain health and energy. One of the persons in the "hero" section is Don McNelly who ran 29 marathons at age 85, and has no joint problems. This is a very popular book among those at any age who want to enjoy running until they reach the century mark-then there will have to be a sequel. Use coupon code gp100 to receive 10% off.

I wish I could say that I have always wanted to do a triathlon. But up until about 6 weeks ago I had never even considered it because I call myself a "bad swimmer". Well, the cool thing about that is that I just finished a sprint womens triathlon. For several months Jen and Becky in my running club have been trying to get me to do one. My friend Shelly has asked me, but I distracted her with training for a marathon. Well, gave in and now know that I CAN swim, then bike, then run. Here are some pictures this wonderful experience.

If there is something you have written off of your "things to do in my lifetime" list, then I encourage you to write it back on. You can do it. If there is something that you have never considered because "you suck at it" I challenge you to try it. Do it!! I know you can.
