It also doesn't help that the cold weather in many parts of the U.S. makes for less-than-desirable outdoor running conditions. If you're anticipating a busy holiday season (and who isn't?), start practicing some of these strategies so you'll keep running through the holiday season.

Comments (0)PermalinkLifetime Marathon Licenses for Sale?Saturday November 15, 2008With the huge growth in marathon running popularity over the past decade, getting into the biggest marathons in the U.S. isn't easy. The most popular ones sell out immediately or offer lotteries, which can be extremely competitive. For example, nearly 55,000 people got rejected from the New York City marathon's lottery this past year.
A recent article from Bloomberg News explains that the New York Road Runners organization, coordinators of the New York City marathon, are contemplating selling "permanent marathon entries". The concept would be similar to "lifetime season tickets" offered by some professional sports teams.
Although they're not saying how much the licenses would cost, organizers say that the money raised would help them to increase awareness of the sport and offer more opportunities to runners.
Personally, I was disappointed to hear that the Road Runners is considering this idea. Right now, there are several guaranteed ways to get into the New York marathon, without relying on luck. U.S. runners can either run in nine Road Runners races the prior year; participate in one of the race's official charity programs; gain automatic entry as a 15-year race veteran; be denied entry the three previous years; or run a competitive qualifying time. International runners can get automatic entry by purchasing a "marathon package'' through Road Runners' travel partners.
So if someone really wants to run New York, with some dedication and patience, they'll get in eventually. And, as anyone who has trained for a marathon knows, they'll need that kind of commitment during their training. I also think that the difficulty in getting into New York is part of the reason why it's such a thrill for runners when they finally make it there. So I don't think it would be fair to simply hand over numbers to people who can afford what I'm sure will be a high price for a lifetime number. And since the amount of spots in the race will always be limited, selling lifetime entries will take spots away from those runners who can't afford them and want to gain entry either through luck or hard work.
What do you think? Are lifetime marathon licenses a good idea? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Comments (0)PermalinkProtect Yourself from Germs at the GymWednesday November 12, 2008At my gym the other day, I was using an elliptical trainer near the door and I was impressed with how many gym members took a pump of hand sanitizer and rubbed it on their hands on their way out. I'm grateful that my gym keeps hand sanitizer, as well as paper towels and a cleaner spray bottle, in various spots throughout the gym. It's one small thing I can do to try to stay healthy this winter.
Cold and flu season is here and, with all the people, sweat, and warmth, gyms can be the ideal breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Here are the best ways to protect yourself and avoid getting sick from nasty germs at the gym.
