McCain Selects Runner As Running Mate
There was a surprise announcement last Friday that Senator John McCain selected Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. She’s not just his political running mate; she’s also a real runner, enjoying trail runs and marathons. Jen Murphy of WSJ Magazine reports:
“Conventional running is my sanity,” Gov. Palin says. Having recently given birth to her fifth child, the governor is trying to get back to her old workout routine. She was running 7 to 10 miles almost every day but switched to aerobics classes at her gym when she became pregnant. She has worked her way back up to running three miles every other day.
In the summer, when it’s always light, she’ll sometimes run as late as midnight. In the dead of winter, when it’s dark, she sneaks in an afternoon run, or else grudgingly runs on the treadmill at home or at the gym in the evening.
It sounds like she shares The Low-Tech Times’ preference for running outside rather than on a treadmill.
