Running Rules and Observations

This is where I'll compile some observations and "rules" not taught in running clinics but gathered from my experiences and from what I gather from reading through blogs and forums: On Running "If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run." - John Bingham, running writer and speaker Running is the cheapest sport without the 4 pairs of running shoes; color coordinated cap, singlet, running shorts and socks; race fees; Garmin; iPod; power bar, gel, beans; Gatorade; breakfast after the run; breakfast after the race; running books and magazines; trip to the doctor; trip to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hongkong, New York, Boston ... Loops are run counter-clockwise. Chocolate and colas are great after a long run. Burning calories are more fun than counting them
