#1 I wanted to thank all of you who recommended I go for the 50k instead of the 25k (before tomorrow comes, and I cannot move ;) The race was at Huntsville State Park which is about an hour and a half outside of Houston. Fortunately, my brother's GF lives about 20 minutes from there, so I spent the night at her house and had a short drive in the morning. FIRST LOOP: Taper Naked

Hi all, I am running in the inaugural Rose Bowl Half Marathon in Pasadena this Saturday. I am excited about the race as the Arroyo Seco area the race is held in is very pretty and I grew up around here. It is a mix of roads and trails and should be interesting.

The shoes we run in today are great for reducing impact. There are a myriad of devices, gels, air channels, etc., designed to lesson the compressive loads on the joints and body. One drawback, however, is that if you do most of your running on even, paved surfaces the lower leg muscles and joints do not have to work as hard to stabilize.
