Check out the Mio Alpha heart rate monitor. It's not in a bra, but it doesn't require a chest strap so it's way easier on the chesticles.
When I was living in Toronto I had the privilege of running and training with my real, biological sister. It was a bonding, incredible experience. Once we were running through a muddy trail after a fresh rainfall, falling on our butts every three steps and laughing hysterically. We barely covered any miles but exhausted ourselves. Another time in the summer we were followed by the biggest swarm of mosquitoes I had ever seen. We both sprinted through that trail, screaming in unison. Since moving to San Diego I've accumulated a few surrogate sister. Earlier this year I set out with two awesome ladies to run Mt. Baldy in CA. The elevation was so high we couldn't run and talk at the same time... so we just hiked and talked about periods and birth control (and relationships and live and death and world domination). What's better than a tried and true trail bestie?? Tickle fights, maybe. Tickle fights are better.
LOVE the breastfeeding picture. GO EMMA!
"moustachioed meanderer" ... just brilliant
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Wolf and dog spirits are immortal; they're tied to the wind. She will never stop running with you. RIP Mamie.
Well said! 3m/day for me, no doubt. The weather has been so terrible here lately (Landisburg, PA) sometimes all I can manage is a 1-mile slog through knee-deep snow. Although I have somehow managed to shuffle my way to five buckles, distance is always irrelevant--just a few minutes outdoors is all it takes to reset the soul. Looking forward to that book, AJW! :)
Love this post. Sometimes I think the people who win races aren't necessarily the most fit... they just want it more than the rest of us. Glad to see you're back!
Great post. Running long gives me the time I need to evaluate my goals and my relationships with others. When I'm not running, I can make those adjustments to become a better person.
My appreciation for you as an athlete has only deepened since your recent struggles, Geoff. You have handled yourself with grace and you've proven that the lure of the trail is far more than racing or winning.
Great year! I'd love to see more from Leon Lutz and Pam Reed in 2014.
