Sounds like you're on the right track. Keep that upper body balanced and relaxed. Next thing you know you'll run ten miles but you won't feel like you did.Hank Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243840232233423724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-22429501005782219362013-10-08T12:33:10.617-07:002013-10-08T12:33:10.617-07:00Bend knees?

My wife&#...Hey John, kudos on your running efforts. My wife's attitude toward running really changed after reading the book Chi Running. She now enjoys running much more. You may want to check it out. <br /><br />A couple of things that worked for me running-wise is:<br />1. I figured out that the time of day affects how much I enjoy a run. Usually, running in the cool morning after I hydrate a bit upon waking makes for a less stressful run for me. I can lose myself easier. The end of the day sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, depending on how worn out, hydrated, and stressed I am. Mid-day is pretty tough almost all of the time.<br /><br />2. On rare occasions I've had the chance to run with a group of runners. I thought I'd hate it, but it actually was pretty cool, talking shop, the comradery, and a little incentive to run a little faster, get a little better, etc. It made me like the idea of being a runner and gave me something to shoot for.<br /><br />3. Finding routes I like. Just like biking. I have routes for when I want to be out in nature, when I want to see street life, when I want some fun hills, etc. In other words, the routes I run have a big affect on whether I enjoy the run. As a side note, I figured out that I hate long, flat runs. So, I avoid these.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />Lee in SFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-42462997690552558552013-10-08T09:16:01.994-07:002013-10-08T09:16:01.994-07:00I read a blog called Miss Zoot, she is a runner. ...I read a blog called Miss Zoot, she is a runner. Like a crazy marathoner kinda runner. She trail runs a lot and writes about how to do it. Maybe you could look at her info? <br /><br />http://www.misszoot.com/<br /><br />I thought of her since you tripped on the trails and she has talked about tripping off curbs and twisting ankles but she keeps running!<br /><br />:)KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
