Re: White Rabbit Thursday
Had a nice 17k (11k at pace) run. Was going up a steep curvy sidewalk and a skateboarder came flying down in the opposite direction; panicked when he saw me and wiped out sliding head first. Asked if he was ok, sheepishly said yes, and went on his way. I could've easily ducked behind a tree so we w...

Re: Sunrise Sunday
The tatoo? Well, I have a couple of spiritual anniversaries coming up 8/8, and I wanted to paint their symbols on my body. And, I have a new friend who has alot of tatoos and offered to accompany me into one of these IMO shaky establishments to make sure I get quality work and not get screwed. So, ...

Re: The runners wave?
I religiously do the wave. My results are typical of other men in their mid-30s: 1. Young women never acknowledge you exist. 2. Groups of women shriek and call the police. 3. Young men think you're challenging them to a fight. 4. Old men smile and wave back. I'm not sure if I'm still considered a y...

Re: Top 10 running fashion faux pas
I'm a supporter of shorts over tights. I have horrific memories of my high school principal walking through school in x-country ski tights with his junk showing. He was not a good looking old man. I would have paid him to wear shorts over top.

Re: The Oatmeal on Running
I find it eerie how his exaggerated body in part 4 looks a lot like my non-exaggerated body. And that was quite exaggerated - dude runs a 1:30 half, didn't think he'd be too hefty. A little googling reveals I am right. http://www.menshealth.com.sg/system/files/shared/Matthew_Inman_The_Oatmeal_Racin...

Well, I'm back again
I am very happy to say that after... 3 years (?) Off from running, I am back at it again. The last two times I quit running it was because of multiple bouts with bronchitis, so I'm going to make a pact with myself right now that if I do get it, I won't let it stop me from running! Anyway, I went out...
