Let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.

An inspirational WGOM fitness quote by our 26th (and my favorite) potii.  Dude rocked!  Grew up sickly and asthmatic, but overcame his weaknesses by powering through them.

There's a good review in this week's The New Yorker on a recent book by Doris Goodwin about the relationship between T.R. and Taft called Progress's Pilgrims.  Also, The River of Doubt is a great Roosevelt read if you haven't.

This morning's run was a cold (39F) and windy 12 mile run around West Hartford.  Tried out a new flavor (no flavor) of Gu Energy Gel - Just Plain - not bad.  Espresso Love is still my fav.

Next weekend I'll be doing the Moustache Half Marathon in Minneapolis (Their website says Your Whiskers Could Use Some Fresh Air  - Awesome!).

Today's free opera (NPR) at 1PM EST is Mozart's Don Giovanni by the Houston Opera.

Florida State (2) is playing at home today against Idaho at 3:30EST.  Go Noles!

  1. I'm making the switch to GU Chomps. They taste a lot better and you can also spread them out more during the course of your run.

    I finished the Annapolis Half Marathon yesterday and beat my personal worse by about 40 seconds! Given the difficulty of the course, and the fact that I'm heavier than usual, I was quite pleased with the result.

    1. I ran 3.5 tonight in William OBrian. It was 20F and windy but I just added a layer and a Gopher ski cap.
