#dailymission Are you for / against / or neutral on running related bumper stickers? I put a '26.2' on my car, but I want to swap out for the much more interesting '0.0'

I have the sticker on my car (thanks Amy). I ran my one and only marathon at 52 in Denver. Its something I'll probably never do again
nless I end up doing Rome in 2015 with Scott. For me its acknowledging not that I ran a marathon but that I put in all that training to allow me to do it and do relatively comfortably. As far as my sticker is concerned I really don't care what folks think.

Listened to Icona Pop. Yeah, I said it. I don't care. I love it. I don't care. I love it, I love it.

#dailymission What's your fastest mile timing (regardless of the sport)? 4:26 mile in high school. I've been adding a minute each decade it seems.

#dailymission If you listen to music while running/biking/etc... is there one song that's a must on your mix? You Can Go With This, or You Can Go With That....

Do distressed runners run best? I revisit the run of one Mr. Forrest Gump. http://goo.gl/x74GZ

My 'injurious spot' held up well but still reminded me it was there. 13 days until marathon day and this run would usually be 13 miles as well, but, I'm an "Ultra-Taper-er"... read more

Because too many rest days in a row, and someone will send a cop to check on me. What's that smell coming from his house? And there's cats everywhere.

Yes, I picked it up by chance. And yes, Anne, my void is ever expanding it seems, so I needs lots to fill it with. :-)

3rd 20 miler for bayshore marathon. Painful. This one may leave a mark, but like all long runs, it tapped into parts of me that no other run does. Time to ice and taper like a mo'fo.

Whoo-hoo! You did it! Awesome job with a another solid 20! Enjoy your taper :-)

#dailymission How do you feel about barefoot and/or minimalist running? They're bad-ass mo-fo's.

I tried Saucony Kirvana's for a bit, closest I came to barefoot. I loved them, but, they left me damaged goods. It wasn't them, it was me.

tried the Kinvara's (?) as well a while back but they were too narrow for my flipper feet lol
try running 1km barefoot or with cruddy socks on your treadmill at a peppy jog pace. see how that feels, but don't over reach and heel strike - your body will tell you right away that this is a no-no.
