Don't mind me, just a minor freakout
<post style = "useless sympathy gather"> Gah! I am running 16 miles with my marathon training crew on Sunday and I am so not ready. I've barely ran this week and my legs have felt like lead (probably because I overdid it and raced vs ran last weekend). I don't know why but those next 3 miles are super intimidating. I've…

Could this be my next challenge? (w/pictures)
So, I'm Fat. Been that way for a while. BUT I'm well on my way to being Not Fat. This is kinda new, exciting and scary.

What are people's thoughts on…

Help! Fair Weather Runner in an All Weather World
I admit I'm a fair weather runner, at least when it comes to outside. I've done a couple runs in the (warm) rain, but I'm actually perfectly content on a treadmill catching up on my cable shows. However, this Sunday I have a half marathon, and it is going to be 40s, windy and wet. Any all weather runners have any advice…
