For me, running is HARD! But we know it's all for good, so we stick at it, huh? So, Mac, how’s the running going?! For me, running is HARD! But we know it’s all for good, so we stick at it, huh?

Sometimes its far better to just move away from what is causing you grief instead of maintaining some stance or dogma that you have to face up to it, beat it down, conquer it, deal with it. While going with the flow might now always work, gravity is nature and working against nature doesn't tend to yield lasting results. I couldn’t agree with you more.

Being in my 30's and only recently started running, I can stress the importance of stretching.. You can seriously help prevent so many injuries if you dedicate 10 mins before and after your run doing some solid stretching - worth investing time in ! Brian makes some really good points..

I've also found that on the days that I don't want to run, I just don't think about it - just get dressed, put on my shoes, stretch and go, and sure enough, I get a smile on my face. The other thing, specifically to running, that you might think about is doing some speed work. After warming up, you can run quarters (a lap around a track (which is a quarter mile)), 100 meter dashes, etc. For me, I've found it to be a good workout as sometimes just running can get boring. doing speed working will also improve your cardio and boost your metabolism more than just a 20 or 30 minute run. But if you do this, make sure you do it at a track or on the grass in a park to save your joints. Good luck!

Stretching is the key thing I would reccomend if you have not run for a period of time - it can prepare you so well.. Research some running stretches - there are so many - and be aware if you ahve areas prone to injury to focus on those stretches.. “Starting running cold, for the first time in your… let’s say 30?s… I would recommend a couple things.”

I like it that there is so little new under the sun.... The youtube film is great. I have shown the God is not a tree film to others quite a few times, the evidence one is as good!

I just wanted to let you know that I was really intrigued and uplifted, in a way, by the video clip you showed here. And also that I've spent the last couple of hours listening to your archived messages from the last month of Sundays, which were also quite intriguing and uplifting for me. So thanks for those experiences. I really appreciate them. I would _very much_ like to visit you and New Way, but I work on Sundays until the midafternoon (I find that no matter what the day of the week, little old ladies and their dogs still need to be taken care of just like on the other days!). Still, I'll see if I can't work something out. And if I can't, well, I might just pop back over here to say hi again, and listen to some more of your stuff when you have it up. Take care, Andrea Hey.
