To PB or not to PB
Last year, someone in the San Francisco Marathon FB group asked me if I was running ATB. At the time, I didn't even know what ATB was. Turns out the Around the Bay 30k in Hamilton is the oldest road race in North America. One of its taglines is "Older than Boston". 😁 Since 2019 …

However, it wasn't until much later that I realized that it had somehow restarted and said that I did 54.6km at a 8:37/km pace. 🤔 Apparently I flew up …

Runner Problems vs Real Problems
Runners have some very unique problems. Just for fun, I attempt to compare and contrast runner problems vs real problems to put things into perspective. ---------------------------------------------------- Runner problem: I haven't run in 3 days, I'm so out of shape. Real problem: I haven't run since highschool, I'm so out of shape. ---------------------------------------------------- Runner problem: My …
