I don’t remember the “Runners, Yeah We’re Different” ad campaign that Adidas launched in 1999-2000 (I wasn’t a runner then, either), but I love all of them.
The NYC Color Run was AMAZING! It’s probably coming to a city near you, sign up! So much fun!

I will be in Fredricksburg, VA this weekend for the Marine Corps Half Marathon. I’m going to have all of Saturday to kill, so, if anyone lives in or around Fredricksburg, and could recommend some cool things for me to check out or do, let me know, pleeeease!

No big deal, just winning more things.
That’s actually a problem — her not caring. Morganti treats runners for injuries, and she says they’re the worst patients. “The treatment is to stop running,” she says. “They won’t. They don’t want to. A lot of the behavior is not unlike the patients we have who are seeking drugs. It’s really similar. It’s an addiction.

‘Wired To Run’: Runner’s High May Have Been Evolutionary Advantage
(via NPR)
“Runners are the ultimate celebration people,” he told me. “Running is just so intense, you’re really experiencing life to the fullest. And after you do that, you reward yourself.”
Specifically, he’s talking about a beer reward.

Half Marathon May is halfway booked! Long Island on May 6th, Historic Marine Corps on May 20th. Just need to find a half to do on the weekends of 5/12 - 5/13 and 5/26 - 5/27 and I’ll have a half marathon every weekend in May. Rad!
So now that I’ve completed my (#humblebrag number 1 coming up) third full marathon (and subsequently negated all of the calories I burned off in doing so), I need some more races to keep me running and eating well. (#humblebrag number 2 commence) I lost 32 pounds in the 3 months of marathon training, but that also has a whole lot to do with joining Weight Watchers (For Men!!). If my past history with weight loss and marathons continues, I’ll be back to morbid obesity in no time. The unfortunate fact is, if I don’t have something major to train for, I become pretty lazy with running and even lazier with eating.
While I don’t think I’ll be doing another full marathon until the fall at the earliest, I have decided to start signing up for as many half marathons and middle distance races as I possibly can.
I’ve already registered, as in I’m totally doing, these so far.
March 5th: 25K at Caumsett State Park (Long Island)
May 6th: Long Island Half Marathon (Long Island)
May 20th: Historic Marine Corps Half Marathon (Fredericksburg, VA)
July 8th: Boilermaker 15K (Utica, NY)
and I’m considering doing the following, which is why I’m reaching out to ya’ll. If anyone has done any of these, please let me know if they are decent races. Better yet, if anyone can recommend any road races (15K - Half Marathon) within let’s say a 5 hour drive of southwestern Long Island, let me know! Thanks!
considering these:
March 24th: Savin Rock Half Marathon (West Haven, CT)
April 1st: Greater Danbury Half Marathon (Danbury, CT)
May 13th: Delaware Half Marathon (Wilmington, DE)
July 8th: Mad Half Marathon (Mad River Valley, VT)
cool!
