If you're one of those runners that looks like he or she belongs on the cover of Runner's World, this blog is not for you. If, one the other hand, you're a middle aged, over weight, not so fast runner, welcome!
I'm going to share with you some of my own experiences as an average runner. The first item I want to share is a picture that a friend from high school sent. It's a picture from my track team (that's me being held up by some of the other guys). The others in the picture are (L-R): Ken Rhea, Todd Jones, Tom Parrish, Tim Trotter, and seated is Chuck Hargrove.
Now, what you need to know is that I was about 16 when this picture was taken and about 50 pounds lighter. I won't scare you with an updated picture of me in running shorts.
Don't expect much sage advice from a long time runner. I will tell you what equipment I'm using (not those ugly LDV Nikes I wore in that picture), the kind of training I'm doing, what I'm eating, where I'm running, and other running tidbits I find.
Enjoy.

This photo was taken at Bellevue High School. BHS was the only N.I.L. (yes, I just gave away my age) track with 3 lanes and a hill!
As the runner sitting on the ground, consider me grateful you were fifty pounds lighter then. One drop would have been disaster. Today I am seventy pounds heavier now than in that photo, thereby testing the weight limits and physics involved in moving a hefty marathoner.
