Comment on Just Run Baby! by Mark Reimers

I’m one who has been forced to do most of my running on a treadmill over the past several years. My hips can no longer take running on the road (concrete is the worst). While there is no question that it’s easier to run on a treadmill, miles are miles. I just try to keep a brisk pace and do more interval training. Spending more time on the treadmill allows me to keep running and I can still run the occasional race without worrying that I might end up sidelined with hip pain. Cheers, Mark.

Oops! Corrected. Desiree (and the rest of her group) are such role models. Can’t wait to see what Desiree does in Houston!

Desiree Davila, not Devila. She’s bad, but not evil.

Well stated! “These stories reinforce what happens when hard work meets opportunity”

fun! I better start collecting things for Claire to do during those hours that involve the tour of the corn fields!
Seriously, I am old enough to remember a trip to California on Route 66. It is truly a pleasant memory. Hope your trip leaves you with the same feeling.

You are so right about having someone to run with. It has taken me a lot of years to be able to just do it because I need to. I have burned through (sorry guys I had no idea) a lot of running partners, and I am very grateful to all of them. They were what got me out there more times than not in the past 30 years.

Thanks for the motivation. You’re 100% right about mind over matter. I’m wondering what else besides a training partner (and raising massive amounts of $) motivate you? Do you ever feel like you are a better husband/father because of your physical exploits?

I think you should include Mrs. McRunner and darling baby McRunner in the next challenge. Maybe you could try to swing at every park in Lake County…

Um…could the Athleticore assistant be a job share? I swear Eric spends more time entering his log than actually running!
