Yep, its true. I'm now a running maniac. I signed up to do the Wharf-to-Wharf 10k in Santa Cruz on July 27th and also am training for the Rock and Roll Half-Marathon on Oct 5th in San Jose. If anyone is doing one or both of these, let me know. I started training in May and will be logging 19 miles this week. I'm jealous that there's so many SoCal runners and hardly any NoCal ones (that I know of). So we need to get a running club started or something! Brian

*points and laughs* ha! ha!! You got the fever!!!

Check out the Exercise & Fitness message board, I've picked up lots of good advice there.

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

I did the Nike Women's half marathon last year. once i'm cleared to start running again, i'm interested in doing some sort of running club or even meeting up for some races/events!

You might find these helpful. I can't remember the name of the race calendar I used to get (during one of my thinner phases). I'll be there again, just give me a year. :) http://www.changeofpace.com/ncalifornia_clubs.html http://www.parunclub.com/welcome.htm http://www.santacruztrackclub.com/upcoming.shtml hit your stride and feel those endorphins kick in ---jan---

Football? Did you say football? I'm ready to defend my crown!

But, first I'm still paying off my Laker bets. Uggghhh...

And, NO I don't have the sickness... I HATE running!

Hope all is well with you!
