Great Tool for Creating a Training Plan
I love this tool. Check it out and create a custom training plan on the fly!!
Runner's World Smart Coach
My one and only complaint is that the Start Week doesn't have options further into the future. Some of us like to plan ahead. ;-)

From the Toledo Blade, Monday May 24th:
Internationally known endurance athlete Lisa Smith Batchen, who is attempting to run 50 miles in each of America's 50 states over a two-month period, has invited area runners to join her during a 12-hour jaunt she has planned at Wildwood Preserve Metropark Tuesday.
She plans to run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the park's trails. Runners can come and go as they wish.
Ms. Batchen's 'Running Hope Through America' campaign began in New Jersey on April 19. She is trying to raise money and awareness for orphans.
The park district said it will open Wildwood an hour early to accommodate her.

http://www.1800hocking.com/indianrun
Now for the important stuff….camping, eating and drinking. There are a group of us that camp Friday night and Saturday night at Hocking Hills state park. I have already reserved 5 sites (sites 98, 100, 101, 102 and 103) that have 2 tents on each site. There are some open slots as of the sending of this email so let me know if you want in and I'll get on the list. Here is the camp site layout in case you are thinking about getting your own site. If you get a site, let me know the number and if you have room for another Strider and I will keep the list current. It cost $62.25 per site for the 2 nights. Kim usually coordinates the food stuff for the Friday night spaghetti dinner and Saturday cookout and huge Sunday breakfast. More on that to come as the list of attendees is finalized. Here is a link to Hocking Hills state park…. Let me know if you have questions or I missed something. It is a great family time which includes horse back riding or canoeing on Saturday afternoon and some hiking at Old Man's cave.

1000 Marathons
Frank named recipient of USATF Masters Long Distance Running Award
USA Track & Field
INDIANAPOLIS - Norm Frank, who has completed more marathons than any American in history, will be presented with a Special Recognition Award by USA Track & Field's Masters Long Distance Running Committee on April 19, 2010.
The award will be presented in recognition of Frank's unique contributions to the sport of Masters Long Distance Running. The presentation will begin at 10 a.m., at an informal brunch to be held at the Clover Blossom Legacy Retirement Community, 100 McAuley Dr., in Rochester, N.Y. The date and time of the presentation were chosen to coincide with the start time of the 114th running of the Boston Marathon, a race that Frank has competed in 30 times.
Frank ran his first marathon at the 1967 Boston Marathon when he was 35 years old. Since then he has completed an incredible 965 marathons. For three years, 1994-1997, Frank held the World Record for most marathons completed according to the Guinness Book of Records.
A resident of Rochester, N.Y., the 78-year old Frank has run, trotted and walked in marathons in every state in the Union and many nations abroad. His total of 965 Marathons completed equates to an average of over 20 marathons a year since his first in 1967. All totaled he's logged some 25,000 miles in his marathon races alone, and estimates place his total number of miles run at 86,000.
His first marathon was the venerable race in Boston, where he would answer the starter's gun 29 more times in that city alone. He also ran marathons in Ottawa, Athens, and several European nations. Meanwhile, all this was done while managing his own landscaping business (Marathon Lawn Service) and raising two children, now grown. His personal best of 3 hours 22 minutes set at the 1976 Rochester Marathon will not challenge any records, but his longevity and enthusiasm for running is legend.
Frank is currently battling back from three strokes and a bacterial infection around his heart. He is making progress and is already back on a treadmill. His goal is to complete 1,000 marathons.
