RUNNIN’ OFF AT THE MOUTH
- “The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life.” – George Sheehan
- “Our running shoes have magic in them. The power to transform a bad day into a good day; frustration into speed; self-doubt into confidence; chocolate cake into muscles.” – Mina Samuels
(Best Running Quotes for Global Running Day)

Why a 10-Minute “Very Slow Jog” Boosts Mood and Brain Power
“If you can walk at the exact same speed, why does jogging trigger such a distinct neurological response?”
“When you walk, one foot is always in contact with the earth. When you run—even at a snail’s pace—both feet leave the ground for a fraction of a second. This bounces you through each stride, creating a rhythmic vertical oscillation.”
So the key is the head bobbing.
GO, BOB. Boost your body and spirit.

RUN REPORT – 9/12/26
Training mileage is going up in preparation for fall marathons. And the number of ways people are achieving them is going up, too. Quietman Tom arrived sweaty having done 5 miles before coming to SRC. Rob and Train Dave added on pre-Shawmont Avenue by doing 4mi on SRT. Rob reports it still felt interminable. CtCloser returned from Shawmont Ave on the trail and added on using Andorra.
Betsy and Jimmy Dee were the true Shawmont runners who didn’t do the full 14 for marathon training, but for the sheer love of the accomplishment.
Read Themz for numerical deets.
Footnote: Back when Zen Yanni wrote, the narrative around the previous week’s efforts was a regular feature. “Run Report” was the name of the entire publication, then (iCandybyWangC.com).
