Running Resources

Here's another something I'll be putting in the sidebar.  Sometimes I get questions about getting started (or re-started) in running, and for the most part unless you're a beginner, I usually don't have answers for you.  And even if you're a beginner, there's a good chance I don't have the best answer for you, but I can still point you in the right direction.

I'll be updating this regularly, so check back regularly.
