Why is it sideways?
Let's start a list:
How they know that running is simple and it's best to go by feel (while carefully monitoring pace, elevation change, footwear cost per mile, heart rate, cadence, and time of last bowel movement.)
How cool it is that Nobby, like, posted on my thread.
How the beer they drink comes from the smallest town and is made with the most organic ingredients.
How intelligent their training is because they know how to run easy.
How they don't take NSAIDS.
