Rob, I love your blog man. I started reading the "Atlantic" on a regular basis because of it.. I'm going to jump back on again. Maybe others will follow who knows:)

Why aren't you running anymore? You were as recent as last week. Injury or choice?

Best wishes, Rob. If there's anything I can do shoot me a message. Your non-running posts are as valuable or more than your running ones.

Once a runner....

Seriously? I'm bummed. I come here for encouragement and wisdom and any other worthy note you might post. I hope things find an upswing.

"A healthy runner your age should be running 70 miles a week to be competitive."

Reading your blog, heeding your advice, and following your example is a big part of the reason I pushed beyond my limits and became a focused and disciplined runner.

I pray you are healthy and I'' here to help in any way possible.
