  • Race Report: Monumental Marathon I've spent the past 6 months working up to this day.  Twice in the past 16 months, I've been sidelined from running for more than 6 weeks.  I began running everyday at the end of my last injury recovery, making it my goal to be able to run the......
  • Day 30 of the streak. #twit2fit A lot of stuff going on here.  First of all, my graph.  30 runs in 30 days--no gaps in the graph: Secondly, I did this last run at 4:55 AM, on the treadmill in the basement of a house that's not air-conditioned at the moment.  It's warmer in the basement......

  • Do not try this at home. I was aiming for 16 miles today, and planned to get moving as close to 5:30 as possible. Instead, I intentionally disabled my 5:30 alarm at 5:15 and then woke up just before my 6:30 alarm. I ate one of those Little Debbie Brownie things for pre-run fuel. Awful nutrition,......
  • Running streak? Day 2. #twit2fit 2.5 miles in 24'15". Ok, so I've been cleared to run, but last vacation last week brought about a number of factors that made it hard to actually do so.  It really pained me to be at the beach (Gulf Shores) and not be able to run from Gulf Shores......
