Running slow
Yo, Iceman!

Y'see, some of these Americans speak the language pretty good.

I first met Rick in Hal Higdon's sitting room, which has to be one of the few running-related boasts available to me.

Anyway, thanks for the contribution Rick. I hadn't realised that base training/slow running was such an established practice. It also sounds like a great excuse if someone comments on my normal pace, which is at least a minute a mile slower than Nigel's artificially slow 9 minute miles.

Anyway, do call in again soon, and well done on all the races. I don't think we have long distance relays here -- an interesting idea.

(I should mention in passing that around the beginning of the year Rick was advised to give up running completely. Running 4 marathons sounds like a pretty eloquent riposte to the medical profession...)

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
