Running

[*Deidre*]

I've been keeping up with my running -- I'm planning (hoping) ...ok wishing...to run a 1/2 marathon next year. That's the goal.

I made an interesting discovery last night: if you want motivation to run, run at night on unlit paths and roads without streetlamps or sidewalks.

This totally works. I run where there are a lot of cougars (the animal, not the older women who like younger men) and so if I run at dusk I always bring a buddy. I cannot beleive there is another muppet poster on here, but I can share the spotlight.

I think it would be fun if we all shared what shoes we are training in and racing in...

TRAINING: Saucony Hurricane 14 and 12. I like the 12 better.

RACING: Saucony Kinvara and Kinvara 2. I have a ton of racing shoes (I have trouble passing up a cool pair of racers) but these are the two I am using at the moment.

I wear the women's nike free run's. LOVE THEM. But, I have been wanting to try the vibrams, because I have heard so many positive things about them. Saucony is a great brand, too.
