I guess the logical question I need to ask myself now is, how in the hell did I manage to run 600 miles in 2015 in cotton underwear? The moisture, the chaffing, the horror. Trying to put them on now feels like affixing a burlap sack to my, well, you […]
Despite having run the distance hundreds of times (okay, maybe one hundred) I’ve never once done so officially; with safety pins affixed, an assigned number, other runners in front of and behind me, or a time recorded anywhere but for an app on my phone. That all changes this Saturday […]

Everything hurts. I ran 7.15 miles last Wednesday, the furthest distance I’ve ever traveled in a single day, and as I sit here now, on May 4th, some 5 days later, every single. thing. still. hurts. My fingers ache, which obviously makes no sense at all. All ten toes are […]
