Well, Michelle and I did a 5-man relay in today’s Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Bank Marathon. I had leg 2, which started in Windsor, ON, CA. Michelle had leg 5, which started just after the runners are done with the Belle Isle portion. We decided at the last minute that I’d drop Michelle off at our […]

My morning run
I took my first morning run in many, many months today before I started working. I decided to do my usual 3 miles which is from outside my front door to the Riverbends Park in Shelby Township, which is across Auburn Road from me. On my way BACK from the halfway point, I noticed a […]

Two more lessons learned
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention these other lessons: HUMIDITY — this killed me. Can’t control this one, either. OBESITY — I could’ve been 10 pounds lighter, or even more. This year, I never dieted. I ate whatever I wanted. I thought I was doing well, since many of my runs were in record time […]

I gotta try and look on the bright side. At least I finished. 😀 What did I expect? I ran 11 of the last 59 scheduled miles. I hadn’t run a long run for 3 weeks, when I ran 20 miles in 3 hours, flat. After that, the running was pretty much thrown to the […]

Runner Tracking during the Race this Weekend
I was wrong about the map tracking. You can only track via e-mail. I guess it’ll send you e-mail when I cross certain points. http://www.doitsports.com/results/RUN-track.tcl?id=2941 Just go there, create an account (as required) and then search for Filias. There, you’ll be able to tell it to email you when I cross the finish line, midpoint, […]
Maybe being lazy last week was good?
Okay, so last week I ran 0 of 29 miles. Not sure why, just lazy, I guess. I thought it was going to be a big issue, but I’m one of those people that likes to “test” things. Well, after taking last week off, this week I’ve been putting in a bit of overtime in […]
I guess I can’t use my iPod Mini during the marathon!
Oh well. Can I push a baby stroller, use a walking stick, roller blade, take my dog, or wear a walk man? We are sorry, but NONE of these objects are permitted on the course. It is against USAT&F rules and are a safety hazard and will be strictly enforced on the course. Marine Marathon […]
