Crossing a busy street recently made me think about Canadian racewalkers, and I just had to smile. In 2007 I found the walking section of Canada’s Running Room/Walking Room online forums. The members of the forum were avid and accomplished walkers and […]
For many years I did not make resolutions. My theory was, no one ever keeps them, so why even bother. Then I did some reading about goal setting. It seems that people who set concrete measurable goals are much more successful than […]
If you live anywhere where the weather gets bad enough you cannot do your normal outdoor mileage, you have probably tried to do a workout on a treadmill at least once. While in theory I do not have a problem with treadmills, […]
