The weight I've lost is probably muscle, not fat. I bet that's why my times suck.

The "Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee 1000K" (organized by the people behind the Barkley Marathons) has 6,000 registrants (myself included) at $60 a pop. Damn. Apparently there's money to be made in virtual race directing right now.

11,000 registered now

What a waste

16,000 registered. They were expecting 200. Lots of tech issues with the tracker form and spreadsheet (16,000 people accessing a Google Doc...lol).

I'm in 3,581st place as of this morning.

It is very important in life 2 learn 2 dig ur claws into the fucking dirt 2 climb ur way out of the grave that ur mind led u into directly. Learn 2 talk 2 urself in a way that very few people will ever understand. In ur darkest moments, u must become the devil to get out of hell!

I'm going mostly hills for the last two weeks and really enjoying it. Combing running with yoga and the yoga is making me a much stronger runner.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

worked in some running today and i didn’t die...though it was a lot of run a short distance, walk a lot more, run some again and so on

[verb_to_trust]

That's a good way to build up endurance
