Lot's of inspiration out there for this one with everyone making racing plans for 2011. GOOD LUCK figuring it all out and try to make your choices wisely and with a clear head. You don't want to find yourself at the start of a race you really wish you hadn't signed up for like "The URG's" did; )

GLACIAL PACE!

OK I must admit that Sarah Palin's new TV show "ALASKA" inspired this comic. Seeing her snowshoe over an Alaskan glacier and then climb up the face of a mountain really made me like her much more then I thought possible; )

URG Strikes a "PIGEON POSE"?!
Click on Image for Larger View!!
Lately it seems that yoga poses are popping up everywhere. Fitness instructors are slipping yoga into their core and strength classes and massage and physio-therapists are sending clients home with yoga poses to help stretch and rehabilitate muscles. URG is holding a "pigeon pose" which stretches the hip and glute muscles to name a few.
There is still alot of controversy concerning the benefits of yoga and just how stretched and limber a runner should be. Personally I use yoga poses for core strength and to keep my left and right side balanced flexibility wise.

Best of Luck to everyone heading out to the Haliburton Forest 100, 50's & 25k Trail Runs this weekend!!
This comic was inspired by a thread over at the Running Mania forum. I wish I could have fit everyone in the comic but had to keep it to a few of those running in the 100. Good Luck to all of you!!

SPRINGS & WINGS

I just don't get why Joe Montana wants to be a part of selling a gimmicky shoe to the masses of people who are desperately grasping at any straw to "shape-up" and get fit. Sure, the shoes are probably no more harmful then the high heels many woman have already enslaved their feet to and lets face it walking around in 5 inch stilettos will build some serious calf muscles. However the muscle enhancement derived from wearing "Shape-ups", stilletos or any sort of footwear is just the bodies way of adapting to an unnatural way of walking which in turn can cause serious problems for other parts of the body ie. feet, back, knees.
The body is amazing the way it tries to compensate for whatever we humans decide to strap on our feet but in the end that overworked, "toned" muscle derived from wearing those ridiculous shoes is probably not good for much more then keeping one from toppling over in the silly things in the first place.
