A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

Man-oh-man, I’m havin’ such a good time. Today marked my fourth hard run in as many days, and my third week of consistent running since the renovation. The bonus for today is that it was a trail run. Yeah!

And the body feels fantastic – the Pose Method is being good to me. It now feels really natural and I’m noticing my timing on the pull part of pose-fall-pull is getting better and better. What exactly does that mean? It means that the better my timing is on the pull, the less time I spend on the ground and the less impact there is to my body. The outcome of that last sentence is that with all the hard running I’m doing, I’ve had virtually no soreness. And that’s from running on pavement in shoes that offer no more protection than bedroom slippers.

See my sidebar welcome over there at top right? I’m thinking it might be time to change it to reflect the fact that I’m 99% done reengineering my form. I hope it doesn’t anger the running gods to make that declaration, but I feel that I need to move on from learning mode, ramp up my confidence and just run.

A shout out to Jeanne from Not Born to Run. Jeanne’s having some bunion problems. I have two runner friends with major bunions. I’ve never had them. Have you?
