Dailymile Challenges Believe in the Run EXCLUSIVE
Posted by Thomas Neuberger in Believe in the Run, General Running on January 26th, 2010
I am having too much fun here. I started with the “Andy” and it has taken off. Each week I have been giving a challenge to my Dailymile.com friends. It is an open invitation so they can invite their friends. I usually try to have the challenge relate to a specific runner, and the goals are reasonable for most runners to complete. The response has been great, each challenge has had over 100 participants. Other challenges average under 10. Here is last weeks challenge, the Honest Abe.
Believeintherun.com exclusive!!! Sneak peak at this weeks challenge: This challenge is based on one of the runners I have known the longest on dailymile.com, Steve Speirs. Steve created the 100 Push-Ups, 200 Sit-Ups, 200 Squats programs. His book 100 Push Ups is available on Amazon.com. I have been using the iPhone App version of all the workouts and I love them. Warning they are tough! Learn more about Steve at his website Run Bulldog Run.
Here is the challenge Steve created for this week: 1 mile run, 10 push-ups, 1 mile run, 20 squats, 1 mile run, 30 crunches, 1 mile run – OR -a 4 mile run followed/preceded by the 10 push-ups, 20 squats, 30 crunches! I will be publishing the challenge on Dailymile.com tomorrow afternoon.

A week of Jeanne
Posted by Thomas Neuberger in Believe in the Run, General Running, Trail Running on January 18th, 2010
I am training for the HAT 50k with my friend Jeanne Bayers, so we have been spending more time with each other as of late. Jeanne also was the first to complete an “Andy” last week, so this week over 100 Dailymilers ran 3.42 miles to complete a “Jeanne” (her Boston Marathon time of 3 hours 42 minutes).
On Saturday I met up with Jeanne, Paul Gochar, Bobby O’Kane, and Wendell to run the trails in Patapsco State Park. The video does not do the hills and mud justice. This was a tough hilly muddy 8 mile mess.
Sunday, Jeanne and I met up for a 14 mile run through Baltimore and the rain. Fellow Dailymiler’s Brodie W. and Brian B. joined us for the run. Running with friends sure makes the nasty weather easier to take. If you are on Dailymile friend these runners, they are great people.
Me, Brian B., Jeanne B., Brodie W.

HAT 50k Training Officially Starts
Posted by Thomas Neuberger in Believe in the Run, General Running, Trail Running on December 21st, 2009
Tomorrow marks the official start of my training for the HAT 50k (The Hinte Anderson Trail 50K Run). I will actually drop miles initially, but it wont be long before they are back up and exceeding my current weekly mileage. The challenge will be finding good long trails to train on. Take a look at the video from last years run. It looks like this is going to be a muddy run!

I am looking forward to getting a spanking new pair of Defyance 3’s in December. In the meantime I will enjoy this video. It’s funny cause it’s true.
Links to 2009 TransRockies Reviews
Posted by Thomas Neuberger in General Running on October 26th, 2009
TransRockies Run feedback from Trey Woods – Excerpt: “You really have to have a simplistic approach when running 113 miles over 6 days. All that matters during this week long running vacation is how you deal with the stress of running 20+ miles a day and how your body is going to react to climbing and descending over 4000 feet a day.”
Outside Magazine - Excerpt: “I read Lance Armstrong’s book, It’s Not About the Bike, and he writes about finding yourself through pain. I totally relate to that. You get to know yourself better when you put yourself through pain.”
Dean Karnazes GORE-TEX® TransRockies review - Excerpt: “Gore-Tex puts on an absolutely world-class event.”

It’s Official 2010 GORE-TEX® TransRockies Run!
Posted by Thomas Neuberger in Believe in the Run, GORE-TEX® TransRockies Run, General Running, Trail Running on October 1st, 2009
A little over one week away from the Chicago Marathon and I am already super psyched for another big run. I registered for the 2010 GORE-TEX® TransRockies run this morning at 5:00 a.m. Check out more information about the 2010 GORE-TEX® TransRockies Run.
Whoa! was that August that just flew by?!
Posted by Thomas Neuberger in 2009 Marathon Training, Believe in the Run, GORE-TEX® TransRockies Run, General Running on August 31st, 2009
What a crazy summer this has been. Time has just flown by. I am swamped at work and my personal life has been just as busy. The runs in August are not fun just hot humid and long. I never got around to booking my flight to Montreal until last week, well I looked into booking the flight last week. There are no flights from Baltimore direct to Montreal. After looking for quite sometime at all the options, I decided to bag the trip and forfeit my marathon entry fee. I started looking at other options for my fall run.
NORTH FACE ENDURANCE CHALLENGE
I landed on an ambitious choice. I am wait listed on the North Face 50k Endurance Challenge in Washington DC. I registered on Active.com, it wasn’t exactly clear on how I will find out if I make the list. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Check out the North Face Challenge.
