Good luck to thebiggreenmachine!
He's running his first marathon this weekend! He's crazy fast, the kind of speed that us mortals can only dream about (16:XX 5K, 1:20 half marathon). Good luck and remember my top three race tips: 1) Don't go out too fast 2) Don't go out too fast 3) Don't go out too fast

Race day tips:
My top three tips (which can't be repeated enough): 1) Don't go out too fast! 2) Don't go out too fast! 3) Don't go out too fast! If you are chasing a BQ or other arbitrary time goal (sub 4:00, sub 5:00) be extra careful. Going out on pace and trying to "hang on" usually has a really bad ending. Make sure your training…

Let's see some race pics people!
Setting my half marathon PR in June. Before - trying to stay warm with an old dress shirt and some goofy gloves from the $.99 cent only store. During - around, mile 5 (I think):

Hydration advice for morning runners
If you are waiting until the morning of run to drink, you've waited too long! Drink lots and lots (and lots) before you go to bed.

we need a "sticky" thread for C25K/how to start running
this question gets asked very often (which is a good thing)

Hear me now and listen forever (running training programs)
C25K, one hour runner, Hidgon's half marathon & marathon, Pftiz, Daniels, etc. I've said it before and I'll say it again: they are guidelines, not gospel. All of these are just numbers on a page. They don't know if you were up late the night before. They don't know if your hamstrings are tweaked. They don't know if you are…

Rough day at SF (marathon race report)
Not sure where to put this. Not an NSV per se, so this is as good a place as any. SF is a great race, you are all but guaranteed perfect (cool) running weather in the middle of the summer. Plus it makes for a great weekend getaway (even better because we ditched the kids). This was my 2nd time running SF, having done it 6…

self serve frozen yogurt - cool calorie counting trick
Yogurtland and those kind of places charge ~$.30 per ounce. Each ounces has ~ 30 calories = so ~ 1 calorie for every penny spent. So $1.50 of yogurt = ~ 150 calories, etc. All bets are off if you load up on toppings (candy & cookies, etc.).

NSV clothes shopping
I've been wearing size 36 pants for years (and years) - everything is getting way too big. The pants I used to dream about fitting into are now too big. I just bought 3 new pairs of shorts all size 34! I don't think I've been a size 34 in at least 12-14 years. I tried on 4 or 5 different brands, so I know it isn't totally…

How much do you think I burned
typing this post? My HRM says 1.5 calories, MFP says 2 calories. Another website says 1.75 calories. I'm 5-11 and weigh 177. I do type fairly quickly and I always click the mouse very vigorously....

awesome NSV - back in my wedding tux pants from 1994
Four or five months ago, I told my wife and kids I wanted to get back into my wedding tux (pants were the real issue). I tried them on for the family and the pants were a good 3 inches too small in the waist. I was sure I could really get back into them, as I remembered them being pretty tight even back in the day. I just…

What drives you crazy about this site (in a fun way)?
For me it is posts that say things like: "Bill just burned 14,287 calories taking out the trash cans for 3 minutes..." not sure why it bugs me, but it does
