I always wake up in the middle of the night to stretch (well, I always wake up and then I always stretch -- not sure how related the two are).Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809744218455258079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-34971722762397797842012-08-03T07:41:55.230-07:002012-08-03T07:41:55.230-07:00Looks like the cat is going to do some push-ups :D...Looks like the cat is going to do some push-ups :D<br /><br />Kudos to Arthur........

Dislocated jaw, 1" wound on the chin, bruised rotator cuff and plantar fasciitis didn't disrupt my training for long. <br /><br />My SFM goals is to run the 1st half at 2:15-2:20 and run/jog/walk the 2nd half to finish at 5+hrs. Had time to finish under 5 hrs but it was not my goal. Stuck to my goal and took it easy at the 2nd half.Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441286685936713787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-20515037529435503662012-08-01T05:51:51.789-07:002012-08-01T05:51:51.789-07:00Well done to Arthur!

I will focus on heat training more next summer (our next summer):) I often cat stretch and always do it before I get up for my morning run.Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588120934444485158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-4359831813363277222012-08-01T04:54:43.489-07:002012-08-01T04:54:43.489-07:00Arthur sounds very impressive.

For one, we really don't have that many marathons in the islands and, secondly, that sort of yearly training schedule wouldn't agree with my triathlon training. To be sure, though, you guys are amazing. You have trained your bodies to handle the brutal impact of marathon training. My hat is off to you folks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846136358775915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-78451467870381730832012-07-31T23:02:14.207-07:002012-07-31T23:02:14.207-07:00Look who's speedy here!

Guess I haven't done enough marathons to learn how to stay uninjured ;) heheh<br /><br />I like reading blogs of older runners too- not sure if you have ever read the Old Running Fox blog, but he just turned 80 and has a very impressive running resume.Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.com
