Marine Corps Marathon
This race is another large one (last year about 20000 runners, this year it's supposed to be 30000). It takes you by many of the major sightseeing spots in Washington D.C. which makes for a beautiful run. You need to sign up in the early summertime to get in by lottery. I had no trouble- it's not li...

That's a really good idea, Jacob, to run without the garmin. I've found I'm starting to really rely on it to judge my pace too, and I want to get better at figuring it out on my own as well. Good luck with the root canal... this is your hot dentist, right? Smile real pretty at her and ask her for so...

Shoes are one of those totally "personal" things- what works for someone may be murderous on another person's feet. Some basics... Cushioning shoes- for people whose feet stay fairly straight (you don't roll in (pronate) or out (supinate) when you run. Also for people with a heavier footfall. Stabil...
