Just do it. Today!

Good week so far.  After cross-training on Monday, I did a hill workout yesterday and a one-hour maintenance run today.  Tomorrow is cross-training.  I'll do some speed work on Friday and a trail run on Saturday.   

Today is National Running Day.  Real all about it here:  http://www.runningday.org/
If you've been meaning to start running, there's no better time than today.  Just do it!

But not too much.  A recent study suggests that moderation in running might be best:  http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/06/04/ultra-marathons-might-be-ultra-bad-for-your-heart/

I've written about U.S. swimmer Missy Franklin before.  Here's a piece about Miss Franklin that should be required reading for the parents of all young athletes:  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303674004577434550791785644.html?mod=WSJ_LifeStyle_Lifestyle_5
