28° Bleah. Hopefully we won’t have too many more of those. That being one of the benefits of living in the south. This is my get up for nights like this.

ATC 5k Cross Country Run
I’m way behind on some of the Standard Update Blogging™ that I usually do. For everyone’s sake, most especially me, I’m throwing it all out and only doing the latest race: The Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Series Milton High School Cross Country Race (whew!). This was a standard 5k cross-country race, over hills and …
Nike Women's Marathon Recap
First off, I had to get this thing off my chest before writing my race summary. Now that I have, I can give you the down and dirty. One: I finished! Goal accomplished. My official time was 4:57:48 and you can see all the results here. Two: I came in within my projected time zone …
Letter to SF Chronicle
This went to C.W. Nevius of the San Francisco Chronicle in response to this story. An oblique response, really. Good day, I didn’t really feel like commenting on the story, because however I wrote this, it would come across as whiny. However, you might find some story fodder here: The Nike Women’s Marathon was my …
Nike Women's Marathon
We’re off today to go to San Francisco for the 2008 Nike Women’s Marathon. Neither of us are truly “ready” for this race, but we’ll finish, even if our times aren’t what we’d like them to be. It’s a hilly course (duh, it’s San Francisco) but not terribly so. Especially not for people who train …
Marathon Training
Andrew Azab, Tim Gallus, and Jenn Bowie ready to take off on on the 2005 Dunkin’ Donuts Cape Cod Marathon. Yes, Dunkin’ Donuts sponsored it. I’m as amused as you. I may have mentioned before that I’m training for a marathon. The Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco to be exact. I will not link …
Training, Racing, Injuries
I’ve blogged several times before about how one of my main goals is to continue the athletic lifestyle I’ve been leading, but to do it injury free. This means training slowly and building on past growth in a measured way. I am not 18 anymore, I can’t bounce back from craziness like I used to. …
Running in Summertime Georgia
During the summer time, running around here is a real pain in the butt. Jenn and I ran this morning (marathon training) and we left the house by 7:30. Temps ~75 degrees F, humidity ~4000%. The results are as shown here in the picture of Jenn, ambushed coming in the door. No, she did not …
Wiinjury
Yes, yes. I definitely did some damage. This is the nicest back muscle pull I’ve had since the last one, in 2006. Alas, it’s rest and recuperate time. I’m just beginning my marathon training for the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco so that’s not too bad, but it looks like I’ll be doing my …
Way too Bloody Early
I have asked myself the same question on July 4th every year for the past 3 years. “Why am I getting up at 5:00 AM? It’s way to bloody early!” The answer of course is the Peachtree Road Race and the coveted Peachtree Road Race t-shirt, the only problem I have with which is that …
