Houston To Host ...Mark your calendar for next Jan:<br /><br />Houston To Host 2012 Olympic Team Trials For Men’s And Women’s Marathon<br /><br />Fast-rising Houston Marathon steals events away from New York and Boston<br /><br />The Houston Marathon is certainly an event on the rise. In recent years this event and its concurrent half marathon have attracted some of the biggest names in running and witnessed breakthrough performances, including Shalane Flanagan’s half marathon debut and Brett Gotcher’s breakthrough 2:10:35 marathon this year. Now it has earned the right to host the 2012 Olympic Team Trials Men’s and Women’s Marathons, which will be held the day before the 40th Houston Marathon next January.<br /><br />Ahead of the 2008 Olympics, the all-mighty New York City Marathon hosted the men’s trials and the venerable Boston Marathon hosted the women’s trials. The smart money might have been on these same events to easily win the right to stage the 2012 trials, or swap them with each other, but in the end it was the upstart (if a 40-year-old event can be an upstart) Houston Marathon that prevailed. We have no skin in the game, but we are excited to see the selections for both genders take place on the same day.Scott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-90326265389997338602010-02-27T08:00:01.469-08:002010-02-27T08:00:01.469-08:00All good.

"Mountain Running Team" and "Marathon Trials": these are very worthy goals, and you can achieve them, but probably not in the same year. :-) Specificity.Buzznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515482770055477277.post-36264279358898977922010-02-25T14:29:10.580-08:002010-02-25T14:29:10.580-08:00I hear you. When you're feeling good, it'...I hear you. When you're feeling good, it's so hard to hold back on mileage or effort, but that's when smart training comes in. I read on Gordo Byrn's blog that to run well, you should run every day. The caveat to that is that you have to run within your body's ability to adapt and recover, so that you can continue and maintain consistency.<br /><br />Anyway, I had a brief bout with peroneal tendonitis, but it went away with prompt icing. Now if that would only abolish my PF! I foolishly increased mileage and didn't ice until it really meant business- now 6 months later I'm still icing my foot every night. <br /><br />So you're doing the smart thing, and you'll spring back faster than ever I have no doubt.<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.

Not bad enough to keep me from running, usually, but I think that's because of all the ART I get for it. It's more annoying than painful, and it only bothers me when I'm sitting still. Effing weird, and tough to shake!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936117159619262436noreply@blogger.com
