I have one for the White Mountains that I'm plumbing right now for what might be a hike I could convert into a trail run. Fast Food Nation is fun, too. Great for feeling righteous indignation.

I was doing a walk break every kilometer when I started up after my MCL this time, and it was - not just concerning, but <i>difficult</i> to give it up. But you know what? It works. The hardest thing will be learning the difference between your body needing to walk, and your mind wanting to walk - especially since your mind is good at making it seem as if your body is the one complaining. Err on the side of caution, but not too much, and have a great run! If it helps, I had the same concern.

I was worried about rules and expectations, my own and others. Finally I started running for myself and just tried to have fun. I even started running with a friend who was beginning...and we took lots of walk breaks initially. Do what feels good and it will all fall into place. Enjoy! I had the same hang ups, Lara.

It was very disturbing, very well researched and argued, I thought, and it gave me pause about many issues. Thank goodness I'm a vegetarian! I'll be interested to hear your review. Good luck in your ongoing training. I read “Fast Food Nation” and I thought it was great! It was very disturbing, very well researched and argued, I thought, and it gave me pause about many issues.
