#Fit2Feast November challenge
Checking in with my November workout challenge, a lighter one for athletic folks who like to eat. I found this website called “SparkPeople” (see www.sparkpeople.com) that challenged us to do 10 minutes or more of exercise for the whole month of November, entitling you to feast on Thanksgiving Day.

Ever heard of Joy Johnson? She’s the 86 year-old (the oldest in this year’s race) who finished the New York Marathon (her 25th), then died shortly afterward.

Earlier this morning, I was running in the predawn darkness and my headlamp batteries died (ah-the irony of having just written about that in my last post!).

Last Friday, a 90-day running challenge (May-August) ended in which I participated. It was hosted by Sonic Boom through my wife’s employer. (The pretty effective Pavlovian carrot-and-stick idea is this: Sonic Boom encourages people to play healthy “fitness” or “foodie” games online and win points, which can be accumulated to get cheaper insurance and/or […]

HOLY CANNOLI! Well, it has been an AMAZING month for running! I’m looking at my month-end running totals and they are just ridiculously high compared to previous months. So what happened? First, a month-long running challenge in one of my virtual running groups (I call it the #guysversusdolls challenge). Runners on both sides spiking their running […]
