While the health benefits of running are varied and numerous, there are also health problems that, if not caused by running, are at least associated with it. These problems are largely self-inflicted and, if not completely preventable, are most often fixable with an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Less than 24 hours after landing at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, I was waiting for pre-race instructions at the starting line of the 16 th annual Marathon de Marrakech. Jet lag aside, I was at the starting line of my first half-marathon in seven years on a whirlwind visit that also included Casablanca and Fes.

I'm really looking forward to this marathon for numerous reasons. First, another state in my 50 states quest and my 9th state, one more and I can join the club. And next I get to see my brother Ed and his girlfriend Bobby. My good friend Rich will be coming with me and he will get his 10th state (drat, before me).

During the first week of my first year of cross-country, I skipped practice to go to Wild Waves water park for my cousin's birthday. I cleared this with the coach ahead of time and asked what I should do to make up for the workout I'd be missing. He said to just make sure to go for a run that day.

As a coach I am amazed to discover just how difficult it is to convince some runners to rest properly. I have encountered overzealous athletes of all abilities who strategically sneak an extra interval or two during a scheduled workout only to follow it up with a longer-than-suggested recovery run.
