You can do more than you realize
My name is Tim, and some of you may know me as the Beer Runner. You can forget that right now.

Here on the dailymile blog, I’m going to chronicle my experiences as coach of DetermiNation … Continue reading

When neuroses keep us safe: Diaries of this neurotic runner.

Couch Potato to Marathon in 2 1/2 Months
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
