It's official.  I'm a jogger.  The data from this study has me convinced that I was onto something a few years ago when running performance started to decline and I sought out cross fit and then broke my hip tendon.  I'm at peace, I really am.  Not to say I still won't do a half, or a full marathon again...but I've always been in it for weight control, health and just being outside.  I can't believe what it said about 'fast and frequent running.' That came as a huge suprize.

Spent my President's Day weekend in Moab with 4 girlfriends running, hiking, walking and doing Yoga.  One of my friends is an excellent Yogini and so we spent a lot of time each morning doing both Athsanga and restorative Hatha in the sunshine. I provided the (mostly) vegan cuisine including a truly delicoius azuki bean salad and tahini dip. Did I mention it was 70 degrees?  I'm not too happy about this ongoing dry & sunny weather but as long as it's not snowing at Sundance, I am glad I got out of town to soak in some legitimate vitamin D.

I wish FRB had an App that integrated with a smartphone to work like a Garmin and automatically log mileage and pace. Is there an App that does that? Turns your photos me into a Garmin?

It has been 8 years since I had surgery to remove a small tumor and repair my bladder. My daughter took 58 hours to be born and it ruined me. I Did the surgery after my first two marathons and it was very effective for about 6 years. I've had 2 inguinal, 1 femoral and 1 umbilical hernia. I was born with something wrong with the way the facia in my lower abdomen and pelvic floor was formed. I Never could understand how pregnant women could run into their 8th or 9th month of pregnancy without ruining their bodies, I guess I've just been unluckier than most. It snowed and blew into my face as I ran today thinking about my bladder, marathons and how grateful I feel for still being able to run at all.
