DH and i just finished Born to Run, and I LOVED it. What a great book. I had read Chi Running, but I really liked this one better. I like how much journalism was in it, rather than just feeling like it was one guy's opinion. I am intrigued by the VFF, and I might start playing around with them some.

I got two 4 mile runs in. I am still embracing my last few weeks of "off season" until I start my Ironman base training in January. I have two 5K's planned for this month, and hopefully they will be nice and quick :-) One more run planned this week.

Colby-I totally understand the weight thing. I droped some weight when I started all of this, but it creeped back, even with increased training. I just joined weight watchers, and it really helps me keep track of myself.

I also loved reading about the nutritionist. I would love to see one, just to see what she would have to say.

Have great runs!

OH--I am finishing up the book "The perfect mile" about the race for the 4 minute mile, and it is a fascinating book. Great history/running read, and it has been a blast to read!
