Nutriton, Tying your Sneakers, Race Venues again

I need to do some research on nutrition and dieting to complement my physical training.

Thanks to the Facebook website and former high school classmate Grace Fasola Malacrida for two recommendations for reading; Superfoods; Serious Training for Endurance Athletes & Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook.

Do you know there are a couple of ways to tie your shoes ? One way is the traditional granny knot, another is called an Ian knot, and yet another more preferred knot is called the reef knot. Allegedly, a reef knot will not come untied while running.

The Steamtown marathon in Scranton was beginning to look like an attractive compromise between the Erie Presque Isle marathon and the Marine Corps marathon. My youngest son's birthday is on the Steamtown marathon race day.

There's a marathon being run in Toronto on September 27, 2009 called the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront marathon which caught my eye today. Toronto is a the largest city in Canada and is on the northwest shore of Lake Ontario.
