Running sure is compliacted 
It invovles putting one foot in front of the other and both are in the air at the same time at some points (I know, bad description, but you guys know what running looks like).
But there is so much more to it
the right shoes
the right socks
the right clothes
the right gear
speedwork - tempo, interval, farlek? trackwork?
rest days?
how many miles/ week?
how many long runs?
LSD or no?
just kind of funny to me that a sport that's as old as time, as so simple in theory .. really -- isn't!

Yes, get the combo: Garmin Forerunner 305 (affectionately known as "Garmie", my avatar). GPS, HRM, and mega-flexible trainer all rolled into one. The only thing it doesn't do that I wish it did was curse at me when I go too slow. But I am working on a firmware hack for that. |

| Quote from modal on 7/12/2007 at 10:07 PM: Dude, is there a place for changing the firmware? Someone made a separate loader? Where?
Sorry modal, that was purely in jest. But I'll let you know if I find out anything for real. For now, we'll have to live with it beeping at us rather than yelling.

Shorts or skirt?
Body Glide or Sport Wax (trust me, go with the BG)?
Rest when I hurt/am injured or run (duh)?

| I like the way cavemen approached running. If you didn't run, you didn't eat. All you needed was a loincloth and a spear. If you were hunting fast animals, you had a speedwork day. Slower animals were easy days. Big migrating herds were LSD days. After you caught your meal and ate, it was a rest day. |

I love this analogy. Sounds like the loincloth was the precursor to the running skirt. |

 No wonder I feel a little wild when I'm running in 'em!
