Inspiring

Caught up with some reading and found this gem from the April 13 NY Times.
Joan Benoit Samuelson, longtime marathoner, announces here that she's cut her mileage roughly in half — from about 120 miles a week to about 70 or 80. (Whew! I get tired driving that far.) And also, Samuelson says she's learned to work in running in her daily routine rather than the other way around. Bravo.
Is it all things in moderation? (And, whose definition of moderation?) On one hand I applaud and look up to hard-core discipline types like this; but at the same time, if I called her up and found out she was taking the day off to sprawl on the couch, I'd say, "You go, girl."

This McClatchy Co. photo is somewhat dated (probably by about a decade), because her kids are nearly grown.
