First off, Ellen's write-up of our run with Lance Armstrong. She did scare me. And the bathrobes the club goers were wearing were odd.
Next, Beth has a follow up on the IAAF's decision to make their new rules regarding world records being set only at women's only marathons retroactive. Paula Radcliffe no longer holds the women's world marathon record. Instead, the record is now held by... Paula Radcliffe.
Here's an awesome take on the IAAF's decision from the Chicago Tribune.
Here's a new one: plastic surgery to correct "runner's face." I will say, years of running without sunscreen can age a person, badly. Dudes can pull it off. Women look older. That said: wear sunscreen, don't get plastic surgery! Oddly enough, the article defines "runner's face" as "looking too thin and gaunt."
I'm not the only one studying the wear patterns on my soles to justify new shoes. New Balance did it in order to create a new shoe.

Runners face? Never heard of it, nor have I noticed any runners with unusual faces...thanks for the sunscreen note though. I should start wearing it more but I do try to avoid the heat.
