Could be worse... You could have quit running, gained 45 pounds, and actually suck while still dealing with ridiculous heat and humidity. That said, this is week 4 of doing this and I'm hating it a little bit less each day. Working on slowly adding a little more distance and losing some of the...

I'm getting back on the wagon. In June of 2018 I was up to almost 240 before getting on the fit train. Ran my first and only marathon in 2019 and got down to about 193. Stayed pretty healthy until the middle of COVID and had my first backslide. Recovered for awhile but the last 4 years have been...

:hey:

I didn't even realize it was Boston Marathon until I saw something on the news about it. That made me think of you guys. Then I had to hunt down the thread. It all makes me sad. Especially the part where I have reverted to being an out of shape old dude that runs very sporadically. I do miss you...

I think the oldest article of clothing I own is the first sweatshirt I ever bought when I went to college. It's the most raggedy piece of crap you could imagine - lots of paint stains, the cuffs are tattered. My wife hates it and tries to get me to throw it out every time I drag it out and put...

Kind of a loaded question, IMO. I've hit an age that I feel like I can do just about whatever I want. So, in that regard, sure I dress my age.

For the record, today I have on a light weight Ball State hoodie with no pocket(s).

My wife knits. This time a year I generally am wearing some nice homemade wool socks and have one of several homemade knitted hats with me. I prefer the hats she knits from sock yarn. It's a little lighter but on particularly cold and/or windy days, the hoodie adds the extra warmth that is needed.

Why wouldn't he? When I got motivated enough to train for a marathon a couple years ago, I started wearing a lot more form fitting attire. Now that I've gotten lazy again and added back on some of the weight, I'm more than content to hide that fact. I am starting to run again, however, so if I...

Most of the time - no. But I'm bald and my head gets cold so I'll pull it on if I'm out and about without other headwear or if I need additional warmth besides my knitted hat I usually have with me - conveniently stored in the front pocket when it exists.

I do own a brewery and can't really imagine banning them. We want a family friendly environment. Now, if only parents understood what is and isn't acceptable behavior in said establishment it would make my life easier. I'm more inclined to ban specific parents/families than I am to ban all...

A couple of years ago I might have retorted in a similar fashion. But over the last couple of years I have totally regressed to dressing like a teenager again and I love it. My daily wardrobe involves a lot of jeans and cargo shorts on the bottom and t-shirts and hoodies on the top.

I don't think I have ever owned a pullover hoodie with individual pockets. Is that really a thing?

2024 EOY report I didn't run much and mostly just got fat. I did complete (not race, just complete) a HM trail event in October. I also signed up for a HM in April 2025 so maybe I'll really re-join you guys out on the road this year. I've started but just barely...

Just saw the news on Facebook. That sucks. I'm hoping for the full recovery and the amazing BMF story behind your next marathon finish sometime next year!
