    Wow. A wave of nostalgic melancholy just washed over me. Loved hanging on Coolrunning. 2007 was just about the time of the Active takeover.

        With it being the start of Spring, the running scene across the country is building up again to take on the spring, summer and fall racing scenes. Especially with the Boston Marathon just a few weeks away, many people are starting to figure out their pre-race preparations to ensure the best race possible. With this in mind, I have noticed a lot of people talking about carbo-loading the day before their race hoping it will help them when they toe the line.

         

        Attached is a blog post I wrote a few weeks ago about carbo-loading and how most people are doing it wrong. Is this something that you do? Have you found it beneficial? Please let me know!!

            You mean right before the mass exodus ... The only reason I ended up here was following the vapor trail from CR.

              'Truth' is a deal breaker for me.

               

              Speaking of sentimental nostalgia, remember when JimR posted a pic of his feet?
