Yep, my season is quickly coming to a close. Its enough to make baby-jesus cry knowing that last year at this time (living in Las Vegas) I was just coming into my big race time of the year. Now back in MN, the sub 60-degree mornings are making it clear fall is on it's way. That and I start school again next week... booo! Weary is the path that does not challenge.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the 4th Annual Darien Sport Shop ITPMAN Triathlon is coming up September 27 in

Hi Just saw these insoles and wondered if anyone uses them or know anything about them: http://www.1000mile.co.uk/noene.htm My friend uses them and said he has had totally pain free running for the first time in years. Cheers Si.

I never used to pay attention to articles about pronation. Why? Because I didn't think I overpronate (but those are my feet up there). In fact, I tend to walk on the blades of my feet. Which made me think that I supinate.

This is not a triathlon race report, but it's a fun kind of race that a lot of triathletes seem to enter. If you have a relay run in your area, I highly recommend giving it a go with a team, for the experience if nothing else. Blue Skies, -Robin- http://ironmom.blogspot.com/

I know there are a good amount of you from NJ, so does anyone have any recommendations of running trails near Union County, NJ? I know there's the Watchung Reservation, and Jockey Hollow in Morris County, but does anyone know where I can find maps for specific trails in these parks or similar parks? Thanks! - AT

For the past few weeks my right hip flexor has been, well irritated. It's not always uncomfortable, or sore. It's not usually sore when I'm cycling or running. It's not always sore after running...... I don't get it. “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill

After a long cold winter, and wet spring, it's finally hot in Wisconsin. Too hot. I've always had problems with heat. My body really has a hard time. My face turns purple, my stomach gets sluggish, my skin gets salty.

If you live in the Davis County area, Utah - come run with us. We meet every Saturday morning at 7 a.m. www.sdroadrunners.com Run Happy, Lora www.blonderunner.com

Question for the training gurus..... I train 6-7 days a week. I try to get enough rest. I eat as healthy as possible. And I drink almost exclusively...water. (occasional sprite or mello yellow at lunch. maybe 1-2 a week.) Boss buys cases of water for the office to drink throughout the work day. “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill
