Due to a cold and cough I can not rid myself of, I have not run since last Tuesday. In some ways I believe my body needs some rest from the training I have been logging. I do worry that I will lose a step or two for the Turkey Trot next Thursday.
My training has become a perpetual tightrope walk where I am trying to balance pushing myself to new heights in small, yet substantial steps without risking injury.
I recently saw a video clip of a gifted 27 year old male runner named Dathan Ritzenhein. He broke 13 minutes in the 5000 meter run in 2009. As so many premier runners are - this guy is wafer thin - probably weighs on the order of 120 pounds.
