Life Is A Tri

"Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever. Live strong."

Runners Get High

A report in today's New York Times confirms what we already knew:


"...the folk belief is true: Running does elicit a flood of endorphins in the brain. The endorphins are associated with mood changes, and the more endorphins a runner’s body pumps out, the greater the effect."

Alrighty then.  The Grey Lady has spoken.

The Legal Mumbo-Jumbo

My Photo
Vertical Man
"Finish vertically not horizontally." Here are the life adventures of Vertical Man, captious triathlete. Training, racing, drumming, musing and ranting. Occasional music, literary or social criticism, product reviews, dinner menus and whatever else I feel like, all viewed from the middle of the pack. I see the world through idiosyncratic, BS-detecting glasses and suffer neither fools nor celebrities very gladly or for very long. I'm frequently opinionated and occasionally profane...or is it the other way around? Of course you know that the views expressed here are mine and mine alone. And as someone once said, I am neither eager to please nor easy to please. If this discombobulates you, feel free to act like a mature adult and click that little 'X' in your screen's upper right corner because you're on the wrong blog, bucko.
