I'm running a half on sunday. Part of a deal my wife and I made. She's running some races back in the states, my part is to run them as well. Problem is, the FOB I'm at is only 3.5 miles in circumference. Worst part is, the final race in her series is a Marathon!!!!

Matador, Great info here, I used this stretch before my first marathon a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't do it long enough. Mile 9 to 15 was all downhill (1000 ft in 6 miles, see attached picture of the great view). At about mile 16 I was experiencing some excrutiating pain on the outside o...

I was a Junior at West Point, walking to my Military Law class. Ironic thing was, a week prior in my Structural Engineering class (I majored in Civil Eng) my professor mentioned that the World Trade Center was designed to withstand an airplane crash. So I walked into the class all, "It's ok, it...

Ok time for me to brag. HH6 and I just completed the NM Marathon! 4:30 ain't bad for a first timer, eh? Oh yeah, max elevation was 6100 ft. Real ball breaker.

Alright fellas, WTF? No, this isn't BII for your average schiezer film fluffer... One of my NCO's just told me this was a common practice at Campbell for his teletubbies and fatties; you take a bunch of ExLax, rub yourself with Preparation H, wrap your waist in Saran Wrap, then workout. Supposedly t...

Yeah, right. How was Dick, a self-described ``porker'' who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. ``Then it was me who was handicapped,'' Dick says. ``I was sore for two weeks.'' I dont care who you are, that's motivating. I just don't buy that a mi...

HH6 and I on Sunday = 20 miles. Felt much better this time. Proper amounts of high quality H2O always do the trick. Especially down here in hot as hell TX.

Any other crazy a-holes out there running?
