"Why am I doing this?" That's the question that started this blog. A five-month exploration of marathon training and history, past failures and successes, and logging the experience of putting great effort into a goal that has no obvious meaning or value.

This is a biographical dewscription of six decads of long distance running all over the world.

With all the books about running and training on the market, there is now one designed specifically with the young runner in middle and high school in mind. In this easy-to-read book, author, Sue E. Jones, describes the phases of a training plan and how to set up a running week. She discusses proper nutrition, stretching, and gives you a step-by-step race day scenario. While initially intended for the young runner, this book is useful to the beginning runner of any age. Interspersed throughout are stories from Jones's personal running experience, which spans over 32 years of running and 180 races. Many of these stories provide useful tips, ranging from cold weather running to what to eat before a race. Don't get left behind. Come along on the journey and train to be your best
