The long run was always my favorite workout of the week. It was the day I knew that my training mates would be around, and we would have a great conversation on the 90 minutes to two hour runs.
Long runs are community runs in many areas. It is fun to get a group together and find a course that keeps the conversation going and sometimes, stops the conversation (as one goes up hills).
Enjoy your run today.

Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself."

Theme song: Greg Allman, " I'm no Angel."
