July 20-25, 2011



More Pre
What would Steve Prefontaine be doing today
if he had survived the night of May 30, 1975?
Would he be a Nike executive or board member?
Would he be running his own company?
Coaching? Commentating?
Would he be a US Senator?
We cannot know, though all are possible.
I imagine he would have moved to the marathon
in the late seventies or early 80's.
I imagine he would continue to run for
recreation and for health, he would be
about 60 this year.
Whatever the case...
Pre lives on...

NOTES ON 
LE TOUR 2011 
Watched a bit of the Tour De France, version 2011.  It wrapped up Sunday.  Cadel Evans of Australia wins the overall. Andy and Frank Schleck: 2nd and 3rd respectively.
The real story for me was Tom Voekler of France.  He managed to win a breakaway stage and hold on for 9 days as the leader, he rode magnificently in the mountains with great determination to hold onto the yellow jersey.  For a rider not known as a climber he just rode so well right next to the star climbers for so long, we thought he just might find a way to win.  He did not.  He finsihed 4th overall.  Awesome job Tommy V!  
The words are: Determination, persaverance, pride, inspiration!

A productive exercise weekend leaves me
somewhat less energized this morning...
The right ankle pain continues
and I continue to take Naproxin twice a day.
After 15 minutes on the treadmill at a slow jog pace
the pain slipped away and I could run a bit faste pace...
Enjoy it all

ADIDAS Country 70's shoes
I used to wear Adidas.  Before Nike, before New Balance.  After Keds and Converse.
Tennis shoes were worn for every day wear with jeans and t shirts.  We also ran cross country, played basketball and wore them until they just fell apart.  These were the shoes of the 70's.  Loved them then and love them now.  Never forgotten.  Good old Adidas.
