I Am a Runner...No Matter What Pearl Izumi Says

Shoe/clothing company has an ad which differentiates runners from joggers. You can see it at www.wearenotjoggers.com. It describes joggers as some how half heartedly running, and they real runners are endangered. If you were to watch me run, you might be tempted to call it jogging. I am not fast, and there is no gazelle like quality to my form. Believe me though....there is NOTHING half hearted about what I am doing on the road. I am running!

And if I "jog" now and then so what? Who cares? I'm still moving. I'm still pushing my body to a limit it did not know before. Arrrgh! Marketers!

Today I had a pre-marathon massage. It felt good, and now I am ready for my light running for this week. 8 days to go.....
