However, the weather report has 6 inches of snow moving through the NE on Sunday. In that case it'll be the Precor treadmill at the Marriott.<BR/><BR/>I hope the snow misses N.C.!The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-27744094962382346722009-02-27T21:20:00.000-05:002009-02-27T21:20:00.000-05:00Unfortunately, I think it's even worse among socce...Unfortunately, I think it's even worse among soccer players. I play in an Irish league in the Bronx and it's not infrequent for the players on an opposing team to smoke a cigarette during halftime! Certainly makes you feel awful if you lose the game. When it comes down to it, there are more than a few unhealthy behaviors frequently found around runners. When I was younger it seemed like all the runners around me ran because it was a dimension of their anorexia. Earlier today you mentioned the addictive aspect of running too. I guess if it came down to it I'd take a cigarette smoker who runs over a cigarette smoker who doesn't, but still, you're right, something's wrong there. <BR/><BR/>I hope you get in a Beantown run on Monday. PT went well tonight, and the new shoes were good - 1.25 miles in 12:01. It's practically sheer bliss to run again and I can't wait to get outside.
