I run about thirty miles most weeks and touch wood I haven't had any injuries. I am not vigilant about changing out my running shoes (maybe once a year if I'm lucky) and I pretty much avoid stretching - it bores me. Yoga happens maybe once every other month, and only then grudgingly (although I'm pleased to announce that I have finally conquered the headstand). But all of these things I intermittently feel guilty about. At least, that is, until I read 'Born to Run'.
I hate running. I run between meetings, to airports, to catch taxis, friends. I even run to brunch, which is meant to relax you. The only time I like running is when I run to train. I'm not in heels. And it's personal time. Whether on the beach or some dodgy hotel basement gym at 11pm after a flight from hell. I ran my first marathon in Dec 09 in 4hours 28 in Hawaii, and this year I want to come in at under 4 hours.
