Greetings loyal followers. I apologize for not posting more regularly. This has been a busy year or so for me outside of running. I finally published OUR VIETNAM WAR – The Story of 1st Platoon, Alpha Company, 7th Marine Regiment 1969-70, which is available now at Amazon Books. It was a collaborative effort with several veterans with whom I had the honor of serving in the war. Susan and I followed up our engagement on our hiking trip in the mountains of northern Italy with our wedding last summer in the mountains near our home in Park City, Utah.
Finally, I intensified my efforts to regain the “spring” in my aging steps. After placing 2nd in the 70-74 age group at the Xterra National Trail Championships, I began testing non-traditional training methods to enhance my ability to tap into the natural elasticity of my muscles, tendons, and fascia to supplement muscular effort. The idea was to see if I could once again FEEL light, quick and agile on my feet – especially when running on the myriad of trails here in the Wasatch Mountains. The successful process will soon be reported in detail in my next booklet, DANCING IN RUNNING SHOES – Programming the Science and Art of Running. In it I will discuss the latest research finding into the sciences of talent development and running biomechanics, and how to implement those insights into your training. I am now running faster and more skillfully than I have in more than a decade and am excited about sharing what my running and group and I have learned about dancing lightly down the road, track or trail.
