Happy (belated) New Year everyone. Was on a cruise and just got back last night! December miles 151 2019 miles 1454 (new PB) Ran 4 HM and a marathon in 2019 but no PRs this year. 2020 will bring my 15th marathon and 25th HM but probably less running miles, and more biking...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!!

No luck with Chicago Marathon lottery for me. Maybe next year I will be luckier. Good luck to everyone else. Maybe I will try Indy instead.

@C.beara ......I think it really depends on your comfort level. I've done both but prefer contact lenses when I run. I tend to be sensitive to bright sunshine and always want my sunglasses with me. Is it possible to practice putting them in early and try to acclimate yourself before the...

Hey @LSUlakes, I hope you have been enjoying the season LSU has had so far. Coach "O" has had a good year. Can't wait to see what Clemson does with OSU. (my daughter goes to Clemson). Should be a good matchup. Hopefully a Clemson vs. LSU final this year. Now we can both say "Go Tigers!".

ATTQOTD-This time of year, I run on the treadmill on weeknights since it gets dark before leaving work. On Friday-Sundays, I run endless loops around my neighborhood. I start at one mailbox and run to the next, turn back and run to the next mailbox and continue to loop around and add another...

ATTQOTD-I've done it both ways. Entire family has participated in Disney races with me, some races we do with friends, some with just Mrs. Slogger and I, and lately, a lot of races by myself. This weekend I have a half that I can drive to in 90 minutes and be home by lunch. Next month I...

ATTQOTD: regarding thankfulness, I don't really have a lot of Disney stuff or any Disney trips planned right now so my answer may not seem exciting. a>I am thankful that I am healthy enough to run each day if I choose to and have the freedom to do so. I enjoy my Garmin watch, and my shoes...

Great race recaps and monthly mileage everyone. My November totals: Distance 125.8 miles Average Pace 9:48 Total Elevation 932 ft Running Days 15 BAD-I missed most of the first 10 days of the month due to being sick, and then spent the remainder of the month on the...

Totally understand about the not looking forward to same day flying. Since you are doing yours before me, I look forward to any tips and suggestions you have to make the experience tolerable. @waitingtogoback....I heard something similiar which is why I asked the question. My plan is to...

Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone. Hope it's a great one. Got another question that I could use some help with: How long do you typically wait to fly after running? I've got a marathon coming up that I should complete by 11:30 AM. Giving serious consideration to catching a 4:00 pm flight...

Thanks John for the tip and invite. We are coming via cruise ship and tour bus so I will have to see if they allow us any time to "roam."

Great responses so far Holiday runs......personal question for @camaker and @avondale. We are going to be at Kennedy Space Center at the end of the year, first time visitors! Let me know if there are any "can't miss" sights at KSC

Happy Thursday everyone. Hard to believe Thanksgiving is one week away here in the States. Time for family, food, football, and............Turkey Trots? Do you have a running event scheduled for Thanksgiving? Do you do it with friends and family? How about for the rest of the Holiday...

And of course, I'll be wearing all of my Nationals gear. That's WORLD SERIES CHAMPION Washington Nationals gear!!! It would make a great photo for all of us to meet up wearing our team gear.

Hey @jennamfeo ! My wife says thank you and has already downloaded the Harry Potter and GOT episodes. You are owed a margarita!!

Thanks @jennamfeo. Hadn't heard of it before, but will give it a listen. As soon as my wife hears this about a GOT deep dive, she will lose her mind!

I missed it....what is Binge Mode?

I think 650 of the elevation loss comes in the first part of the race. 350 loss after that. I live at the bottom of a hill. One side has a gentle rolling uphill that's about 2/10 mile long. The other side has a more severe hill that's about 1/10 to 1/8 of a mile long. Obviously I can run...

Great list of running events compiled by @PrincessMickey. I want to run ALL of THEM!!!! Question for those in hilly terrains. I have a DOWNHILL Marathon (Sprouts-Mesa near Phoenix) coming up in February. Last time I ran a net downhill marathon was at Steamtown in Scranton PA. The rain...
