The End of the Perfect MythThis was not supposed to be how it turned out. Despite all of the idiotic warnings we were given back in the day by those who just didn't know, that "running will ruin your knees" and that "marathons can give you a heart attack, " who would have thought those admonitions we so easily sloughed off like so much extra sweat might actually turn out to be true?
Keeping TrackOne aspect of running that appeals to many is the fact that it can be so easily quantified. Since running can be distilled down to a function of time and distance, one can easily track those variables if they are so inclined.
The Towel, the Conniption, and my World RecordI forget exactly when the race was, but I believe it was on that very cold day when . . .

As wonderful as that running ideal seems, alas, it is not always the case. In fact, for many runners it is more the exception than the rule.
A New Year, New Dreams, New GoalsAnother year gone by. They sure go by fast! I made that statement last year at this time, and nothing that has occurred during the past 365 days has done anything to change that outlook. As it is the last year of the millenium, the fleeting aspect of time will be in particularly sharp focus during the next 365 days.
An Interview with Khalid Khannouchi: Running the Race For The 2000 Olympics and USA CitizenshipKenyans? What Kenyans? While American men are getting trounced on the roads by an onslaught of speedy Kenyan runners, a mild mannered, diminutive, athlete from Morocco has taken on the best that Kenya has to offer and more often than not, left them behind on the way to victory, in road races from coast to coast.
