Flashes of Panic

I’ve got a column by that title in today’s RW Daily. Unlike the last one, which was so mangled typographically by the time it ran that I didn’t want it associated with my name, this one came through clean. It’s not my worst writing, either.

There’s a link, also, to a story about Deena Kastor in the Boulder Daily Camera in which she nails down exactly why I don’t like marathons:

“It’s such a different event that you never feel like you’re aggressive in the race,” she says. “It seems like you’re always waiting and waiting and waiting and trying to run this pace, and then all of a sudden it hurts so badly, and you don’t understand where the hurt is coming from, because you never pushed to begin with.”
