Enjoy the time you got with her now! When you blink, she'll be grown up and you'll wonder where the time gone.
And I read your tips in the December issue of TrailRunner, great info! Never thought about walking backward up hills to reverse the pounding that downhill running does.
Stanford mall Nordstroms is right! One of the few places to get coffee when you have two dogs and a kid helping you shop.
Jon - walking backwards up hills has become a daily staple for me, and I think it has helped my hill running a ton. My weekly hill drill is to uphill 30 sec sprint, walk down, walk bkwd up, walk down x 6-10 reps. Burns the quads and hamstrings real good!
Wow, you really gained speed and endurance, Scott, almost ready for States and take on the 30-39 age group ultra Grand Prix, now that Mark has (finally...) moved on to assume his age! ;-)
I LIVE for comments! Please add your thoughts, let me know you stopped by, etc., and be thoughtful of others. Always best if you sign your name, of course.
I think, I just heard a collective "awwwww" from trail running nation
ReplyDeletethat's some good cross training. and.. awwwww.
ReplyDeleteThat makes us all feel better about our off-season training :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww is right! Very cute, Scott. But I don't believe you're not running with States on the horizon for '08!
ReplyDeleteSophie has the pacer duties down cold!
ReplyDeleteWith that Pacer...You can knock off many a runner at Cool, AR or even states!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteLong time lurker. I see you at races a lot and you always look surprised when I say "hi" to you by name :-)
Do I recognize Sophie's training area as outside Nordstrom at Stanford Mall?
