If you’ve been around these parts for a while, you know I thrive on doing crazy things. I’ve never quite crossed over to an ultra runner or even a consistent marathon runner, but I love to do things like Ultra Ragnar (6 runs instead of 3) and multiple marathons or half marathons in back to…

Race views and ZOOMA challenges
Today’s topic for Tuesdays on the Run is “Best things seen at a race”. I’ve seen some pretty amusing things: guys running only in thongs, jogglers, dribblers (literally a guy dribbling a basket ball the whole race), awesome costumes, awful costumes, etc. But, despite running with my phone, I pretty much never take pictures and…
