We MAY get around to a running thread!

Catrin, I don't think I could run a mile after all those squats! Good job for sure.

Good job too, Crankin. When a run feels good it *really* feels good, doesn't it?

Yellow, can I be you if I grow up?

What does it mean when you notice whether or not their running form is sound before how good they look?

There's a difference? How good could they look if they don't look capable of running a deer down to feed our family?

If it wasn't for our crazy workouts I doubt I could have done that either! As it was my quads were fine during/after the second run. The next day there was some shin soreness (and elsewhere) and I suspect the shin part was from the running.

In my GT training session this morning we started with a 400 meter jog around the track and it didn't s*ck! Not that long ago I felt like dying when we did that and I was by far the slowest. That was far from the case this morning, I was the fastest and still felt like I was only jogging - and tried to keep my stride shorter and my neck up. Wasn't really even breathing all that heavy at the end...perhaps I crossed a line Saturday without knowing it?

I've noticed a wholelot of men *riding* in sleeveless jerseys or bare chested, too. What's up with that? I can hear my son making his opinion known about men who wear sleeveless. These people are not tri-athletes, either. And no guy should be running shirtless, no matter how fit he is.

I don't know - I saw a pretty hot guy trail running yesterday while we were out hiking. He was booking it and just looked pretty - nice biceps, chest and six pack abs. I really didn't notice his running form...

Now from a health standpoint, I would not want that much of me uncovered for any length of time. I'm pretty fair skinned and years of life guarding have done a ton of damage already.
