I believe that’s the reason why designs of running shoes should be scrutinized.

Sorry to hear about the weather Aaron, you seem to have had a terrible winter over there. We’ve had a very warm winter in Scandinavia this year, but having a second winter – or a third – is rather usual most other years. Hard to take nevertheless!

I was thinking the same quote after reading the article, and saw Chris used it. Then I wanted to make a comment about the weather, which Pete did in the reply above. Everything is totally white here again in Minnesota. Thank God for Gore-Tex.

Great article, Pete. Thanks for sharing!

Great post.

I’ll have to check out Google Books for some vintage writing on running. I read an article last evening in the latest issue of Runner’s World by Peter Sagal about a biography on Teddy Roosevelt. Sagal pointed out that Teddy did a lot of running during his day too.

Or, in Swedish, “Inget nytt under solen” ;)

Enjoying the belated Spring, Pete?
