TriGirl and Wahine... THANKS SO MUCH for all the tips, advice and words of encouragement. Really good stuff!
IF I sign up for IMAZ 08, I am pretty sure I will do the mary at the IM. Keep injury at bay, right? I also like the idea of doing long, slow runs... and just doing it for time. Sounds great to me!
And, when the time gets closer... I am certain I will hit each of you and RM up for some training advice, etc. Although, that training is a year away!
Velob... Chi Running is very similar to Evolution Running. This is basically the form my running coach changed me to. Although, I rarely incorporate the forward lean, simply because I run faster, which puts too much strain on my lower leg muscles (aka: Many days of recovery and pain). But when I go into a sprint, I forward lean.
