Heh - I’ve just been coming to the CW is crap point myself.

I think that most of what’s out there is absolutely gold if you’re one of the 5% (max) of the population who is a finely tuned athelete. For the rest of us schlubs, it’s a matter of doing whatever it takes to get to the 5% before teh CW works.

Happy new year.

You are my HERO! I say we know our own (running) bodies better than any “conventional wisdom” tells us. So keep listening to yourself and do what you know to be right. And for the love of all things good, AMEN TO BANDAIDS! Happy 2006, you squaredancer!

Grasshopper, you have broken through to the next level of understanding. You have thrown off the cloak of others’ wisdom to find you need your own. Be careful, my son. You are on the manicured path of running right but remember to always listen to what your body speaks to you. It knows what it wants and you must listen; not with anger - with patience, focus and understanding.
You will fly, as you did today, like chocolate chariots of fire.

Way to go on the run! That is SUPER fast!! Do whatever works for YOU in 2006, most of what I read is crap anyway. Best wishes for a FANTASTIC 2006!

I am with you on all the crap notes. Run for sake of running and feeling fine. And buy lots of band-aids. I have seen what can happen when those little things go uncovered. OUCH!

I love a Scottish accent. I could listen to them talk for days. Must find hot Scottish man. Oh right…running comments…:-)

It sounds like you’re on the right track. Realizing the problem (eating too much, drinking too much, etc) is the first step to getting help. Oh wait, we’re not with runners anonymous here are we?

Hang in there. And I’m sure knowing what adjustments you want to make will pay off in the end.

Hey. Just came accross your blog from another blog, another blog and then you. Love the post and agree with everything you say. Agree so much that I’m taking your advice b/c I’ve been doing the other and I can’t lose a damn pound. Thanks for the infor regarding the poundage pace time too.

Wow Jon, You’ve already gotten a ton of good advice and feedback on this post so I’ll skip most of what I was going to say and just add that most of what I read on blogs or heard from other runners about diet, ice baths, etc. didn’t apply to me. I did best eating what I wanted to eat, drinking water when I was thirst, etc. I think much of what gets recommended is little better than witch doctor hoo doo.
