Runners Outlook

It has been a while since listing anything. I've been dealing with a "new job", working way to many hours and training just enough to pull off 4-5 marathons a year. It's time to work less and start playing more, before I loose the rest of my "golden years". I'm hoping to find the time to list a few "healthy running" ideas, every now and then. Happy running!

Happy to be back!!! This is my first race I'm pacing, since the quad tendon surgery over 14 moths ago. Come join us in a great fast race N.Y race :)

Mohawk Hudson Marathon & Hannaford Half Marathon The Mohawk Hudson Marathon and Hannaford Supermarkets Half Marathon are the Capital District's premier running events. The courses stretch from Schenectady to Albany, NY along the banks of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers.

Hi everyone, I've been recovering from my complete quad tendon repair surgery, now for over 7 months. It's been one of the toughest mental and physical challenges I've ever had to deal with, but now it's time to get inspired to "get up and running again"! Being a "long term goal person", I decided to work backwards and list page of the Toughest Road Marathons out there! I'm planning on to being ready for Vermont's very own Mad Marathon in September! Hope you are all well and getting out and doing the things you love to do.

Toughest Road Marathons in North America | RaceRaves We spotlight 13 marathons that take perverse pleasure in extracting blood, sweat & tears from their runners — because on race day, miserable is memorable.

The next thing to incorporate, to help improve in every aspect of our lives... including running ability. After seeing this documentary, it changed how I feel about protein and where I should be getting it it in my food source! It's worth the time to watch and add slowly into your lives. The documentary is called "The Game Changers" and can be found on Netflix.

Science Says Running Actually Lowers Inflammation in Your Knees | MapMyRun Contrary to conventional wisdom, science says running may lower inflammation in your knees.

One of Vermont's fastest courses, total elevation gain of 500 ft and net down of 2000 ft! Besides having a covered bridge, great country roads that follow a creek, this race is very well run even though it will only be it's second year. Even with tired legs I was able to pull of a age group PR! :) This will soon become one of the premier races for Vermont and should sell out quicker each year. It's worth checking out!

from https://www.adirondackmarathon.org/ “I’ve run thousands of miles over the years. Why do I keep coming back to this pain? Every true runner at one point hates it. When my body and mind want to quit but I don’t and I just take one more step... I feel like a damn super hero. Running tries to break me and I enjoy that moment in the workout where I have to decide if I will give up or fight. Fight and you will feel glorious.” 📸:
