Ready? Set. Boston!

Posted on 04/11/2012 by Ilona M.

Are you a hardcore Boston Marathon junkie, or a newbie like me? In terms of media coverage, the Boston Marathon is the most popular single-day sporting event in the U.S. behind the Super Bowl. But, as a casual runner who only started racing two years ago, this American institution was somewhat of an enigma to me. I haven’t Bucket Listed Boston (or any other marathon, for that matter) yet, or plotted it on my race calendar. I have yet to run even a first small local … Continue reading →

Posted on 04/22/2011 by Brian A.

The dailymile community sure is strong online, but once you get a chance to experience it in person, you get a chance to put faces to photos and personalities you’ve only experienced online. Your dailymile friends become that much more human, and the motivation you feel every day strengthens. This year’s Boston meetup was exceptional! The dailymile crowd gathered for dinner, drinks, and door prizes a few days before the race to celebrate the 115th running of the Boston Marathon. … Continue reading →

What to expect when you’re expecting to run the Boston Marathon

Posted on 04/11/2011 by Mike N

From the moment a marathoner is born (and often before), Boston looms on the checklist of potential accomplishments. But Boston is an intimidating marathon. First you have to qualify, then you have to get there, then you have to run 26.2 miles! To the non runner, finishing the Boston Marathon sounds like an idiot’s game rather than an accomplished distance runner. But for us runners, Boston is something to work towards, to celebrate, to remember, and to feel inspired by. … Continue reading →

Couch Potato to Marathon in 2 1/2 Months

Posted on 02/22/2011 by Guest

From guest author, Tom Reaves. If you’d like to be a guest author, email your idea or post to the editor. You would think that being active duty in the military, a service member would be in pretty good shape. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. In my branch, a physical fitness test is performed twice a year. In order to pass the test, a member is required to do a few push-ups, a few sit-ups and run 1 … Continue reading →

Was that who I think it was?

Posted on 11/09/2010 by Kathy S

While I was watching the New York City Marathon this past Sunday, I kept doing internet doubletakes forcing me to open Wikipedia and IMDB in regular intervals. The question on my mind was, “wait, was that just [fill in the blank]?” How many celebrities did I see? Let’s count them (from Universal Sports): Kirk Acevedo 3:13:04 (Actor) Ryan Sutter: 3:20:39 (NFL defensive back and winner of the Bachelorette.) Andrew Baldwin 3:31:48 (Pro Triathlete, doctor, humanitarian, and The Bachelor star) Amelie … Continue reading →
