Inspiration

Lots of inspiring stories in this month's Running Times ... thought I would share a quote from Joe Burgasser, a 71-year-old master runner:

Uncommon desire, dedication and sacrifice are necessary to produce the high levels of training necessary to be successful at excelling in any sport. There are no shortcuts and no miracles. Racing is about having the training fitness to push to the limit of your physical and mental abilities. Creating effort pain is mandatory as the race progresses. Try to run even pace or negative splits, not slowing near the end because of a too fast start.

Today's workout:
35 min. progression run (4.08 mi)
60 min. private yoga training
60 min. yoga practice at home
