Marathoning is awesome. And unless you’ve experienced the grand feeling of accomplishment and personal triumph yourself, it’s hard to convey in words what a life-changing and moving experience it is — and what a difference it makes to have people there to share the experience with you and believe in you. Â I’m officially the rare […]

Operation Santa 10k: 3rd in Division!
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 · 4 Comments
Yesterday morning I ran my 12th race, which was my second 10k. Jen ran the 5k race, and it was her third 5k. It was the first race I’ve run where I did not get a new PR (I guess that happens after you start running a lot of races and start to repeat distances). […]

Day 15 Mustache: Yeah, I Look Good
Friday, November 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment
Even though it’s still November, it feels a little more like January.

Day 9: The Singlet ’Stache
Saturday, November 15th, 2008 · Comments Off on Day 9: The Singlet ’Stache
Yesterday Pete attacked with a vengeance. And he brought an army of ‘stache-toting brothers with him — yes, including The Chalm Machine. I was speechless when I saw his post, which crescendoed with this confident entry in ABMGC 2008: Well done, Pete. Well done. I remain in awe. You have taken this contest to a […]

The Mustache Chronicles: Days 5 & 6
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Pete posts! And he’s back with a vengeance, chock-full of smack talk! He’s accused my ‘stache of things like this: Â Your mustache has one arm– it swims in a circle. Your mustache has one leg– they call him Skip. But wait, Pete: I have a question while my ‘stache swims and skips arounds on its […]

Tough Stachin’ on Day 4
Monday, November 10th, 2008 · 3 Comments
This year’s contest is off to a considerably slower start than last year’s — at least where the blog smack talkin’ is concerned. First, Pete posted his contest intro post with promises of an afternoon shave. But where’s the documentation, bro? Is this a violation already? Where’s the official ABMGC 2008 rule book? Even if […]

The Final Full Pre-Marathon Shave
Friday, November 7th, 2008 · 3 Comments
One month from today the Anderson brothers will run their second marathon — and their first together (California International Marathon). As declared by Pete back in June, that can only mean one thing: The Anderson Brothers Sac-Town Marathon Challenge Coupled With the Anderson Brothers Mustache Growing Challenge II. This morning marked my final full pre-CIM […]
