Smell the dirt, feel the mountain, taste the wind.

"Our legs are tight, our feet are flying, and we are gliding over the roll of the land. The sun is up, the air is fresh, the stone is old, and we are free and at peace. The clock has stopped because another time has taken over." C. Bowden

What's your lifting philosophy? Do you do it for its own sake or to improve you're running.
I'd like to do it more but I only lift every 3rd or 4th day. Any more interferes with my running. I also think I lift too hard. But the thing is, I really enjoy it - almost as much as running sometimes.

I believe that only running creates a poor fitness. You end up being limited in climbing, kayaking or anything outdoors strength related. I also heal faster when I'm lifting. Credit raised T or whatever, my running injuries are lower when I am doing a lifting routine. But more than any of this it brings me in tune with my body. Don't know the science but I just feel the motion better. My balance on the mountain is much better too. I gotta say too, when I see pics of ultra runners (Rob Krar) it's the last thing I want to end up looking like. Hal Koerner and Anton K are good examples of very balanced strong guys.
