See the previous post for something to get your head around the subject. Body awareness doesn’t only mean awareness of one’s feet. It could mean, of your exertion level, breathing/heart rate, pain threshold etc.

April Anne tagged me with the latest meme that’s been goin’ around. Here are the rules:
Here are the rules:
1. Go into your archives.
2. Find your 23rd post.
3. Find the fifth sentence (or the closest one to it)
4. Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules.
5. Tag five other people.
So here goes! Mine was from May 2, 2004 and from a post titled, Are You a Running Addict?. There wasn’t a lot of text in that one so here it is again in it’s entirety.
According to these articles - I certainly am. My answer to that would be SO WHAT!
article #1
article #2
article #3
article #4
How about you?

So, that’ll be today’s poll: Are you a running addict? Thanks April Anne! 
Today’s poll comes to you from Jack who’s currently doing some reflection while he recovers from his marathon. By the way, Jack - CONGRATULATIONS!

Sophist had the great idea to poll everyone on their favorite running movies. I was thinking I’d first collect a list of running movies from everyone and make the poll on a separate day.
And then I read Sophist’s comment again:
My favorite blog entry ever on this site was the one where lots of readers completed the sentence ?I remember when.?…I love the polls and the sharing-something-about-running posts!
Sophist got me thinking about the reason I started the polls - that I wanted this place to become more interactive. I wanted my readers to contribute in a bigger way.
Sooo…
I’ve set up a special login so you can post on my (our?) blog. All you have to do is login by clicking here. The login and pass are both lower-case “rbf” (without the quotes!).
First, Some WordPress Lessons
Once logged in, you’ll be presented with a pretty simple menu.
To begin writing a post, just click on the write menu. If you are returning to edit a previously written post, go to the manage menu and click on the link to your post to edit it.
Once you click on the write menu, you’ll see the following sub-menu:
Now you can begin editing. See that quicktag stuff? You probably won’t need to bother with many of them other than /str (bold) em (italic) and link (creates a hyperlink). However, to use them, all you do is highlight a word/phrase and click on the appropriate quicktag button. Once you do that, your word/phrase will be formatted/hyperlinked.
Saving & Publishing
Don’t click on “save”. If you do, your post will be saved to “drafts” and seemingly dissappear (if you do, don’t worry, it is still there). The better option is to click on “save and continue editing”. This allows you to preview your post by scrolling all the way down the window of your editing page. Just keep editing and doing the “save and continue editing thing” until you are happy with your post. Once you are are happy, click on the publish button and go check your work by going to A Passion for Running. In the event you are still not happy, that’s ok. Just login again, go to the manage menu, find the link to your post and begin editing again.
It’s all very easy! I promise. Please come in (leave your running shoes on) and look around.
Okay, onward to today’s open house theme! Sophist wanted to know what your favorite running movie is so let’s hear from you!
Some criteria might help: The movie must be about running or at least have a sub-plot or terrific scene involving running. For example, Forrest Gump
Make sure you start your post by saying who you are since everyone using this login will be identified as “rbf”!
I’ll start. My favorite running movie is Without Limits (affiliate link) - a movie about Steve Prefontaine. You can view what I said about him in this previous post.

By the way, I have no problem with you inserting your own affiliate links to products in your own posts.

Been a while since I did a poll! I promise to try and make these more regular. Maybe not every day but hopefully at least every other day.

Today’s poll brought to you by the letter B - as in Beverly.

This is not intended to be negative but let’s pretend you sustained a permanent injury or something along those lines that made tomorrow the very last day you could run. What kind of run would it be? Where would it be?
Care to share any other details?
I think mine would be on a mountain path.
(let me know if you’ve got an answer I should add to the choices)
