Sorry, I guess I should have started my post with "Things about running James Ford thinks you should know."


Because it's so much fucking cooler to refer to yourself in the third person instead of the first.

Exactly. And then I won't have to click it unless I REALLY want to.

My wife didn't like me being away for so long, so I cut back.

Really?  The way you act on this board, I would think she'd encourage you to take longer runs, so she could have more quiet time at home.

You've obviously never been a work at home mom of a toddler.

Anyone running the Nike 1/2 in a few weeks?

Got into the Marine Corps Marathon.  What a cluster...

marathon tip: if during a training run you start to develop a pain in both your lower hamstring and your shins, don't tell yourself you can push through it and run it off.  i tried this approach and i'm now off running for the next few weeks, who knows what i'll come back to.

i had a bib for the cherry 10-miler this past sunday but couldn't use it.  i went down to cheer on the missus and our other friends.  GORGEOUS morning for a run.

So sorry to hear that!

If you need a good PT, I have an excellent one in Ellicott City.  But, I'm guessing that might be a little far for you.

One of my good friends had bunion surgery.  Hers were really bad and she was sidelined for a few months.
