Well, it's been a couple months since the last post, but I'm back after a somewhat reasonable hiatus to dig deeper into what makes me tick in the world of athletic endeavors.
I've got a bunch of topics to hit and I'll make sure that we start doing some regular postings, if anything, to keep the motivation and focus going strong.
One thing I learned yesterday is that the more people you tell that you're going to do something, the harder it is for you to not follow through. Naturally, triathletes, newly minted marathoners and Ironmen likely don't have the problem of NOT talking about their endeavors at length, but for beginners, it can be healthy to let others know that a 5k is on the horizon or that they're walking 3 days a week. It's great to be active, and at the same time, it's great to use your support group and peers to keep you honest, because, let's face it... it's easy to dissapoint yourself, but to dissapoint your mother after she's told all her friends that you're doing your very first 5k?
Yeah, let's not go there.
Anyways, I am currently training for the LA Marathon in March. I'll talk about my experiences with barefoot running and increasing run mileage soon, but for right now, I'm going to focus on posting regularly.
Also, if you're looking for some great reviews on minimalist shoes, check out Running and Rambling. It just so happens he's holding a shoe giveaway. Check it out! http://www.runningandrambling.com/2010/12/new-balance-mt101-giveaway.html
