Training Totals Week Ending 11.20.2011
RECAP: This week was the Philadelphia Marathon and Half Marathon. Initially, I had signed up for the full marathon, but injuries upon injuries this fall made me back down to the half.

Paleo Running?
In the world of training, we are all experiments of one. How much should you run? When should you run? How Fast? What kind of shoes should you wear? What should you eat? How much should you eat?
