Here are the stories behind the race results. They're all true and I'm sticking to 'em. Monday, July 30, 2007. Mt Hood PCT 50/50 Race Report. Have I improved much? This year's PCT marked my 7th ultra in 2007 and I was ready! A little baby bear is standing in our way on the trail and won't move. Where's mom? Are we standing between mom and her baby? How do we know? I'm just not sure. Then who catches up to me at this point but my friend Pete who had taken the regular start! How could I get any luckier?

Taking the Insanity to the Next Level. Well, the next notch on my belt has been completed. I have joined the ranks of the officially crazy runners and am now a Marathon Maniac! Http:/ www.marathonmaniacs.com/. The easiest way to qualify for admission to this insane asylum is to run 3 marathons in 3 months. After my finish in Portland, Maine, I knew just what I had to do. And I had an accomplice: Marathon maniac #169, my online friend, Shell. I can’t wait to make it three in three. In the middle I’m...

weight watchers - Kate "The Mad Runner" Merrill's Marathon Running Guide
http://www.themadrunner.com/weight_watchers.php
I've lost over 60 pounds. That's a third of my former body weight. And - in response to one of my patients who caustically challenged me - yes, I've kept it off for over a year. I don't think there's much magic involved in weight loss. There are no special combinations of food with fat-burning hidden qualities. There is no silver bullet. Somehow we have decided, as a society, that giving notice and import to this information just isn't "normal" behavior. But it should be! The beauty of programs like Weig...

http://therustyboy.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts de la Rustyboy. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. It's hard for me to drudge up the proper words to describe this, my third shot at 100 miles, at Pine to Palm. Well, as someone might say, starting at the very beginning is a very good place to start. The hills are alive, with the sound of.thunder.". But I'm pretty sure that was Friday.
