"Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going,
focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually
pain passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing."
Frank Shorter

This past weekend over 8000 runners were signed up to run the England's X-Country Nationals across 10 races. Compare that with, according to Letsrun.com's MB, 422 runners over all races at the 2019 USATF X-Country Championships. See the video below of the Senior Men's and Women's Race to get an idea of how many ran.

David Roche talks about what to do when the daily grind is a grind
Thought on youngsters running fast and how it might translate to later in life. Truth is in general many fade away and others last a short while but very few long at all. Did find Jakob Ingebrigsten's name on there since he was 11 and will be interesting to see how long he stays at the top. Bottom line is no-one in general stays at the top long and if you start early you likely end early.

**** IMPORTANT - WELL TO ME IT IS ****
Not running related but as this is my blog and this is very important to me figured I would share this here again. As shared before while my daughter was here visiting with her husband she became very ill and after a trip to the local ER and then a Air Flight to the University of Kentucky ER we found out she was TY1 Diabetic in Diabetic Coma with Diabetic Keto Acidosis (DKA) and we did not even know she was diabetic, she is 28. She also had kidney issues along with the infection and even started to get pneumonia in the hospital. Good news she is home and getting ready to head back to her home and start a new way of normal with being a TY1 diabetic. The bad news is that due a number of things she did not have insurance and with the flight, being in ICU for about 8 days and in a regular room for 5 days as well as the high cost of insulin and further doctors visits their bills are mounting. I would ask that first and foremost you would pray for her and her husband as she adjusts to a new normal and second should you feel inclined contribute to a GoFundMe account that was set up to try and help with the extensive costs that will need to be dealt with - should you want to help you can go to: Antoinette Petersen's Medical Journey. Again, most of all we ask for your prayers but any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.(If you have a race in the area, including surrounding states, let me know and I will post about it)
Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run. If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running Club. Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.
