The Longest Run

The White House Blog

If you enjoyed my post a few weeks ago on the global economy, you might also be interested in the Boston Globe's overview of prominent economic blogs: Inside the influential new world of econobloggers and well as the field guide to economics and finance blogs . The article is a solid overview of the econoblog landscape. Two of my personal favorites are The Big Picture and Calculated Risk.

Very helpful post over at Runner's Lounge yesterday: Tapering: The hay's in the barn . Only ten days remain before I begin my taper. One of the bloggers over at Runner's Lounge (Tom, a regular participant in the Chicago Marathon) recently left a comment on a post of mine. In the comment, he says: Thanks for leaving a comment and glad you get some benefit from Runners' Lounge. Seems like you made the right decision to skip the workout. And glad you had a good 20+ mile run. You'll do great at Chicago. I love running Chicago and have run it many years. I can be of any help, let me know. Keep up the good running and posting! Nice to have the support out there!
