Today was a day off work and a day off running. I really feel like running but I am forcing myself to take a week off to recover from the marathon. Jim and I took a hike on the Stinging Nettle Trail. We also did some shopping.
Tonight we watched two running movies. First we watched a movie called "Desert Runners". It was about a group of non professional runners who decided to run the four grueling 150 mile desert races in one year. They were in the Atacama Desert, Gobi, Sahara and Antartica. They proved that normal everyday people can accomplish amazing things if they put their minds to it. Jim told me not to let Kathy watch this movie or she would want to talk me into running it. I don't think so. Running across sand in 120 degree heat does not appeal to me. (Someone died in one of the races) Desert running can be dangerous
The second movie was called "Run For Your Life. It was about Fred Lebow and the New York Marathon. .
