That's one of my all-time favorites, and I've re-read the last several chapters many times before big races.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your training.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588564145315857856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1146745632956781332006-05-04T07:27:00.000-05:002006-05-04T07:27:00.000-05:00Hey Mario, that's cool that you and 'scar are budd...Hey Mario, that's cool that you and 'scar are buddies. Yeah Lear does a really good job documenting his struggles growing up. As Wetmore says in the introduction, "The only road he knows is the hard road."<BR/><BR/>All the quotes I've mentioned so far are just from the first third of the book, so I'm sure there will be a lot more.<BR/><BR/>Mike, in college we used to always ice before and after running. I'm not sure why I reacted so differently on Monday. May be it's just a different type of injury or may be I'm not 22 any more.<BR/><BR/>Carl, yeah I remember you from last year. How'd TCM go? There are lots of great running stores around the area with knowledgable staff. I'm partial to Run 'n Fun (Randolf Ave) and Runner's Edge (Grand Ave) in St. Paul. Run 'n Fun also has a new store in Eden Prairie (Shady Oak and HWY 62). Marathon Sports is in Mpls (50th and Penn). I've never been to Gear (France and 44th?), but I imagine it's pretty good too. <BR/><BR/>I'd stay away from chains like the Running Room. Let me know if you need more info. You can also email me off of my profile page.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-1146738813834321432006-05-04T05:33:00.000-05:002006-05-04T05:33:00.000-05:00Hey, I've dropped you a line on your blog before, ...Hey, I've dropped you a line on your blog before, before I ran TCM last year.. My sister lives in Mpls and needs a good place where they will help her pick out the right shoes. Any recommendations?

Great story indeed. Oscar Ponce is one of my best friends and can say that he's one of the most standup guys that I've ever met in my life. Lear gives a good glimpse into his true character in the book - personally, I've learned more from him about running and life than I ever thought possible. <BR/><BR/> Anyways, good to see you're running relatively pain free. Stay patient and good luck settling into the new routine. Take it easy.<BR/><BR/>MFMariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696208281326257305noreply@blogger.com
