Thanks Jim, make that 42! Smiling and laughing all the way! --Previous Message-- : For those who haven't seen it, our own Gary : Allen is quoted at length on pages 104 and : 106 of the just out November issue of : Runner's World (the one with Lance on the : cover): "HAVE FUN. 'I find that some : folks are so fixated on performance, they : view the daily training as stressful,'Pierce : says. Contrast that with Gary Allen, who has : racked up an incredible 41 sub-three hour : marathons since 1978. 'When people ask me : how I've done it, I say by being consistent : and keeping it fun,' he says. Allen, 49, : keeps his training enjoyable by surrounding : himself with good running partners and by : exporing new routes around his home on Great : Cranberry Island, Maine. While you may not : be lucky enough on your long runs to spot : moose or bald eagles, as Allen has, whatever : you do to make running fun should keep you : heading out for years to come." : : --Previous Message-- : "In running however, there are not : bonus : points for running 'hard.' The point is to : run fast. There is a difference. Don't : forget that." : : -Letsrun.com's Wejo explaining "Why He : Sucked in College" but went on to be : 4th in the country in the 10k : : :
