I Am (Mrs.) IronFatty, Part IV: The Runner’s Tale
A Note from Fatty : A huge thanks to everyone who has sent me their stories from the 100 Miles of Nowhere. I’m going to be spending time today compiling my favorites, and posting them tomorrow.

Spin Class
Last Saturday should have been the source material for Part III of The Marathon Chronicles (read Part I and Part II here) — the part where The Runner dragged me on a fifteen mile run.

No One Rides Alone
I know some people who will not ride unless they have company. I am not one of those people. I like riding with another person or with a small group (or even, occasionally, a large group), but I’m also happy to go riding by myself. And yet, I never ride alone. There’s always that stupid voice in my head, right there with me, providing a narrative,...
