I've just updated my blog with a post about three books on running that have taught me a lot.
The blog URL is in my sig.

go barefoot... everything else is just holding you back.
I miss 100% of the shots I don't take.

No, not yet. It's on my "must read" list, but I confess I've been put off by Dean Karnazes' self-aggrandizing style. Will get to it eventually...

Wasn't planning to post anything tonight, just was going to catch up and actually reply tomorrow, but I had to log in to say that I agree with this!! He's a shameless self promoter, most of the time. I'm sure 1 on 1 he's probably a nice guy, but still... |

Well I thought the book was fantastic. I could barely put it down. I read it in 2 days so I definitely recommend it.

As I said, it's on my "must read" list, Karnazes' ego notwithstanding. <g>

No offense meant of course - that's just my impression of Dean K. I'm sure the book is good. |

I'm on chapter 10 of, "Born To Run," by Christopher McDougall now. It is a very interesting read, and very informative. Picked it up yesterday at Barnes and Noble.
