Robert Cheruiyot falls in the Chicago marathon

One moment, Robert Cheruiyot was about to celebrate his victory at the Chicago Marathon. The next, he was on the ground, bleeding from the head, and dazed.

"Did I win the race?" he asked his coach. "What happened?"

The Kenyan had every reason to ask. He had just held off countryman Daniel Njenga on Sunday when he slipped near the finish and banged his head. He was taken from the course on a golf cart.

Cheruiyot, this year's Boston Marathon winner, was treated for internal and external bleeding in his head and was expected to spend the night at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The runner's agent, Federico Rosa, said his client did not need stitches or surgery, but he was not sure if Cheruiyot had lost consciousness.

Weekend run

Last weekend my training was with 3 friends: all of them went by bike and I run... it's nice because I was not alone and they carry the water to drink once in while! 1 hour just before become dark and starting raining. BTW, my participation in 20km Almeirim was canceled because I'm not ready to do it.

Easy run

Easy run today, just 30 min, after two days of short runs at fast pace. Today I want to rest my knees!
Maybe I go this month to the 20 km Almeirim. I'm not sure yet...

Running and take photos

I found on “Running in Suffolk" blog a very nice approach to do the running trainings. It joins at same time two hobbies, (I also like both) in a interesting manner. Buryblue runs always with a digital camera and takes photos at the different courses he does. Very nice pictures of Suffolk (a place in England, I don't know where) can be found in this blog, by instance here, here and here. This should be much more easy to run, because you have a goal for the today's run, and so, not boring as to run alone every time in the same course, as I usually do. Just the problem to take the camera with you, but with the new generation of slim cameras this shouldn't be a problem either!

Run and Bike Training

My next step to improve my training, mainly my km/week I will buy a bike to my wife. Usually I run with her one or two times a week, but because she only runs small distances, between 15 and 30 minutes on good days i decided to buy a bike for her. With a bike we can do a combo training, in a flat floor I think she can ride maybe 45 minutes or 1 hour and I go with her running. I can run more time and also I can control the pace. It's a great idea to optimize the weekly routine, because it's not easy to have time to everything: work, sleep, being with the family, training, hobbies, ... I wish I don't need to sleep to have more 7 hours a day to do all the things I want!

Upper side body training

I need to include in my training schedule a session once a while (one time per week or per two weeks maybe) to improve my upper side body. Just to have some strength in arms, shoulders, backs and in abdominal muscles. I will look over the internet to search some basic training program to do at home or in the garden.
The motivation to do this is that sometimes when in run, during my trainings, at a fast pace, near my maximum pace, I usually feel some pains at the front side of my shoulders, and this pain causes that I have to slow down, I mean, in these cases this is the reason of my run capacity exhaustion instead of it be the difficult breath or the legs muscles tired.
So, I will do some research I will post here the weight training I choose...and so the only thing still be missing is the motivation!

Bike training

I will start to do some bike trainings, sometimes, maybe one day per week. It's better for motivation to change once a while the weekly routine, to avoid repetitive run programs week over week, and also because it's worst to run alone than to ride a bike alone. Furthermore, it is good to exercise another muscles set, that aren't usually requested for runs.
