Tarmac Meditations #46: Run a Mile, See How it Goes

Tarmac Meditations #46: Run a Mile, See How it Goes: "Raining like hell. Had a bad night after a long and unsatisfying conversation with a friend. I’m at a loss as how to help this friend or myself. Only thing that will help after a big cup of dark roast is to lace up and light out. I have to go shoot some runners later (shoot as in photograph). So now is the time. But the rain is hard and cold, and I have a meeting to go to, as well as words coming."

2011 Antarctica Marathon Report - 7 Continents Finished! | Bob Rebello’s Worldwide Marathons: "After 13+ years and 17 worldwide marathons I finally met the commitment I made to my donors in 1999 – “that I would finish marathons on all 7 continents”.

How to Run « The Running Barefoot

How to Run « The Running Barefoot: "The goal of running, generally, is to move the body forward. Contrary to some “expert” opinions, it is not to launch the body high into the air, or to wobble side-to-side, or to “bounce” up and down. At it’s most basic, the goal is simply forward movement of the body – preferably without hurting or damaging our body."
