The next blog post is about the things I do to avoid injuries. Tim 2.0 -- good one! I appreciate that you avoided the easy "Houston, we have a problem" path. Another option: "And that, gentlemen, is how we do that!" Tim — I feel your pain. The next blog post is about the things I do to avoid injuries.

Tim 2.0 — good one! I appreciate that you avoided the easy “Houston, we have a problem” path. Another option: “And that, gentlemen, is how we do that!”

Made me laugh. (Except for the injury part, I can relate too much...) I have had a terrible life of shin splints and stress fractures so I fell out of running for quite awhile. I wanted to do the Columbus Marathon (1/2) with my daughter but was concerned about injury. I am now using a program called "ChiRunning" because of a claim that it could have me running again injury free. So far so good while training for the Columbus Marathon. I am no speed demon, 13 minute miles and am only up to 4 miles a run three times a week and then a 6 mile long, but I am running again! Very cool. Now I can watch out for ax murders with hockey masks on my runs again! Great article Eric! Made me laugh.
