Passionate Runner: Worst Thing About Running

another in a series of podcasts on running, this one expanding upon Mike Antonucci's posting on the Complete Runner Network about what the worst thing about running is.

Time: 4 minutes, 42 seconds



MP3 File


I have been sitting on the sidelines myself with an injury and I am not looking forward to the comeback road for the reason that the pace and conditioning will not be there. However, I will be RUNNING again and taking it slow and easy building gradually will make it worthwhile. Eventually the day will come when I can do what I used to (pre-injury). In the meantime, I need to make the comeback slow and careful to avoid a repeat. The absolutely worse thing is NOT being able to run.

Inspired by the Complete Running Network posting by Mike Antonucci on "The Worse Part of Running"

Reconciled and adjusted

As I was checking out my postings and reconciling between the blog posts and podcasts, I found a couple of posts here that did not officially make it to the podcast queue on iTunes.

Oops, I need to watch my process steps more carefully.

Sorry about that, I'll try to be more careful as I go forward.

PodCamp Boston 2 - October 26-28, 2007

PodCamp Boston 2 is rapidly approaching. We are into August and October 26-28 feels like it is just around the corner.

There are already 290 registered for this event.

Are you in New England? You should consider participating!

Even if you are outside the Boston metro area, this should be a good excuse to get here and participate!

Carrboro Athletics Club

Carrboro Athletics Club is an elite running club in North Carolina. The club is now coached by Joan Nesbit Mabe. I had found Joan's blog some time ago and followed her frequent postings. Her recent post highlights a post on the Carrboro site which I had not been aware of.

Give it a visit. You can always learn something from an elite athlete, even if you can not duplicate their workouts or results.

Amby Burfoot on the new Ad campaigns

Amby Burfoot chimes in on the new ad campaigns. Read what he says and feel free to comment on his blog.

This brings to mind the pix I posted in April: here, here and here. Oh, and here and here.

Confession

The podcasts have been more erratic than I'd like them to be. I have not been running since May due to a suspected stress fracture that time and limited activity has not healed. I am going to the doctors next week.

Finally you say. So does my wife.

As the summer winds down, the prioritization should rekindle a more regular stream of posts and podcasts here. I thank you for your patience and understanding.
