Run Run Away

Question:

I’M STILL RUNNING!

Great!!!     So… fill me in, did Indy ever come back?

No, he took a job with Nike as personnel manager in China. Madeleine?

She is alive and well on the urban side but a no show in the running world. Is Miles really leaving?

He says he is but we know not even money can separate him from his extended family. You forgot about Abhay.  I can only guess he got married and Mr. macho man got his sails trimmed. Hopefully pillow talk has replaced his trolling. — Caveat Lector!

Hi everyone.     I got a new job last August and have had an insane work schedule. I’ve been pretty stressed out, so I haven’t read (much less posted to) rec.running for months.  But, in spite of blowing off the pleasure of your company, I’m pleased to report that: I’M STILL RUNNING! I had to cut back from 5-6 days and 25-35 mpw to 4 days and 20 mpw. I don’t even remember what an interval is.  I don’t even want to know how slow I’d run a 5k nowadays.  But (repeat after me)… I’M STILL RUNNING! In some ways, through the stress of a new job and lack of sleep, running has been a real lifesaver… the only time I’ve had to myself sometimes.  I jealously guarded my hours on the road and didn’t for a moment consider sacrificing running.     I don’t know if I’ll be in rec.running much, but I thought I’d give you my testimonial.     So… fill me in, did Indy ever come back?  Madeleine?  Is Miles really leaving?     Cheers.     Gary. —
