Racing was really tough in the old days... Once upon a balmy day of yore, Shanus the Knight was running hard to win a small marathon wager with his famous...
Rack it up to a 5:00 AM wake up call every day this week. Its my normal wake up time M - F, but Sat and Sun I usually get at least one more hour. Not this...
Great job BK. With all you had going against you in this race, running a monster PR was quite an accomplishment. I see a sub 40 in your 2004 future, with...
BK~Great mental toughness! It would have been easy to crumble in the tough weather conditions or the course stress, but you stuck in there. I might have...

... Agreed. New director, new course and new "lessons learned." This director coordinates most of the races in Cincinnati that are done right, so I'm sure...
No, I am passing this year. My layoff got me sent back down to the minors so I have temporarily left "major league" running. I don't want to deal with the...

Michael ~ Very interesting. For me, I have no choice (at least not any realistic ones) other than getting up at 5:00 AM gulping down a little water (maybe a...
For runs I do after work or later in the day after I have already eaten 1-2 times that day, if I feel hungry, I eat something small like raisins or other dried...
Michael, I'd go with Jabs and experiment a little. I tolerate a bagel/toast and coffee, plus water pretty well before a morning run. I have eaten as little...
