And I used some of the things I learned during the race. <br /><br />I worked at a running specialty store here in Austin for almost 10 years. One of the things I took from that experience was the more expensive the shoe the worse it was for you. I kept seeing people who only wore racing flats for training and racing were never injured. Over the years, I too adopted a less is more philosophy. <br /><br />I think Born to Run is one of those books that has so much to offer in the way of looking at running as really the glue that allowed civilization to grow and thrive. As the author says, running may actually be what not only once started humankind, but it may also be what ultimately saves it.Fred (aka ace)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15967207901430906400noreply@blogger.com
