Born to Run

If you haven't read Chris McDougall's book "Born To Run"

then you will have to go out and get it(or borrow it from a friend).

It just may inspire you to put on a blouse and run around

in a skirt like URG.

Here are a few links to a couple of characters in the book-

Howlin' At The Moon

Improved By URG

Amazingly...

later that morning the University Track Team had a blast playing on their

URG IMPROVED track :)

Unfortunately...

the Track Coach was not amused, URG and URGIT were escorted

off Campus by security :(

Luckily...

Ultra Running Gal denied knowing them and kept her job at the University :)

Secretly...

URGal loved the IMPROVED track and cried as bulldozers began the clean-up :(

DNF

TIMER GUY plays a very important role in any race.

In fact a race can't even start until he shows up.

His job is to account for every participant no matter if they

finish FIRST, LAST or DNF so he takes his job very seriously.

Perhaps a bit too seriously in this case.

TRUE LOVE

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Mr. & Mrs. URG

Who prove that not only is love BLIND,

but it also has no sense of SMELL(or TASTE?)!!

CALORIES, CALORIES, CALORIES!!!

Morning Dilema

Ultra Running Guy is a dedicated Running Coach with clients of all ability levels and experience. One of the biggest challenges he faces is helping his clients to set realistic goals for themselves.

Ultra Running Guy has had every injury an Ultra Runner can get. His BAD LEG has been a particular pain in is BUTT(Piriformis) while his GOOD LEG just seems to go on and on without incident. It is almost as though BAD LEG and GOOD LEG are a miss matched pair. Even gets him wondering sometimes what things would be like if only he had......well lets not go there as that wouldn't be fair to BAD LEG who is a very sensitive sort.
