This morning I spent 4 hours and 15 minutes getting my (8 pounds over racing weight) ass handed to me for 26 ish miles on the Marin Headlands Trail System. Most people don't realize that less than 4 miles from central San Francisco are some of the most beautiful beaches, trails and forests! I am focussing a bit on trails the next few months as I am planning on running the Northface Trail Running Championships in December. Road racing ain't gonna get me in shape for that!
Here is a great link to Headlands if you are in town and interested!
As I was running, I had plenty of silent time and one of the voices in my head, who I have not heard from in a while, decided to get chatty... His concept? Advertisements for lines of athletic products if there were no laws preventing folks from saying whatever they wanted.
Here are a few....
