SIMON SAYS: Simon Martin's Run Time

YourRunning.com enthusiast-in-chief Simon Martin's been bargain hunting.

How else to describe his glorious three-for-one night of self destruction? Perhaps this last-ditch self-sacrifice in order to get something from the season was inspired by Henry Rono's request for one more year after his current campaign fell short of expectations.

As the temperatures in Boulder plateaued at an unfriendly mid-to-high 90s average, Simon began an aggressive rehydration plan to remedy his constant exhaustion. Perhaps that will do the trick, or perhaps it'll be Simon jumping on board the It's All In Your Head train: a group of scientists in Austin, Texas have concluded that the inevitable decline in athletic performance has less to do with age than previously thought.

Find out if either works in Simon's blog: Run Time.

THEM'S RUNNIN' WORDS - And we all blog on...

It's the YourRunning user blog action - the next best thing to running! (Besides watching other people run.) (Or post-run beers.) (Or cute puppies.) (They're still pretty good.)

YourRunning.com endurance ace and project Fiddy2 runner (one marathon every weekend in 2006, all for charity) danerunsalot returned to the blogosphere and gave us the update on his quest for the 24 Hour National Championship. Fresh off his first-ever 100 mile race, YourRunning.com's Fit from Fat blogger Jetfuelburner has begun training for the Akron Road Runner marathon. Let's hope that race is better organized than Grace W's last race -- perhaps the most poorly organized race we've read about. Cselland decided on the road less taken, and that didn't even make weltal327 sore!

Be sure to check out all the action going down in the runniest blogs served on the Internet!
