Even though I all but ignored it for the past six months or so, this little old website has been chug chug chugging along and as of this week it went over 300,000 hits.

I realize that in the land of tik tok this is nothing, and blogging is very old fashioned, but I remain here, and at least some people continue to visit.

As has become my tradition at hitting these little milestones, I’ve put together the to 30 posts and pages and this trusty little site for your enjoyment. Here they are:

1. The Boston Qualifier Questionnaire

   Since I launched this site and the Boston Qualifier Questionnaire Project it has been, by far, the most popular part of the site. The home page for that project, which now including well over 300 interviews continues to get consistent use from BQ hopefuls.

2. David Goggins Inspired Body Weight Work Outs

   Back before he went on the Joe Rogan show and wrote a book, I did a little page on some of the body weight exercises David Goggins did in the book Living with Seal. Now, this is apparently the number one hit on certain Goggins related search results. Really glad to see so many people have found this page helpful.

1. About

   A page explaining what the fuck is going on here remains popular with the confused and curious.

2. Data Analysis of the Boston Qualifier Questionnaire

   When the BQ(Q) project hit 200 entries I did some basic statistical analysis. This is really where you should start if you’re interested in qualifying for Boston.

3. Fitness Habits of Disgraced Generals

   Holding strong at the number five sport is this short post on the fitness habits of generals Generals McCrystal and Patreus.  People google weird stuff.

4. S-Town’s John B. Mclemore: A Reading List

   I was struck by the life of the man at the center of this ground breaking podcast and did a little post on his reading habits. Apparently other people were interested in this too.

5. The Runnable Bridges of New York City

   I made a map of every bridge in New York City that you can run over. This was probably the most time intensive project I’ve done for Milo. Glad other people are still using it.

6. 2016: My Year In Books

   This was the year I tried to read books that reflected the demographics of the U.S. I recapped all that here.

7. Milo of Croton

   A research page of information on our main man, Milo of Croton. I suspect this page has featured in number of hastily written undergrad papers.

   

8. The Egoist on the Fixed Gear

   Don’t be an asshole on your bike.

9. Divine Madness

   A page collecting various resources on the so-called “running cult” Divine Madness. Of everything I have published, this page gets the most emails and responses from previous members and, astonishingly, people interested in joining.

10. 2015: My Year In Books

    These year in books pages where I collect my short reviews of the books I’ve read are surprisingly popular.

11. David Goggins Resources

    A page of resources related to the fascinating veteran, public speaker and endurance athlete David Goggins

12.  Weight and the Marathoner

    A short piece discussing the controversial, but important topic, of the relationship between body weight and long distance running.

13. Running Heroes: The Women of the 1972 New York City Marathon

    A celebration of the women who disrupted the 72 NYCM and changed running forever.

    

14. Classical Sources of the Milo Stories

    A page collecting the various myths and references to Milo of Croton in ancient sources

15. 2014: My Year In Books

    I think perhaps the first year I did one of these recaps of the 52 books I read each year.

16. Our Preterm Baby Part One: PreProm

    A personal essay recounting the challenges around the premature birth of my daughter. I hope the positive ending to this story gives other parents some comfort.

17. Steve Bannon: A Reading List

    A page discussing the alleged influences on former Trump consigliere, Steve Bannon. In the last year this has climbed up the all time ratings, which I find frankly a bit worrying.

18. Some Thoughts On The Early Days of Strength Training

    Just what the title say, a brief recap of the very early history of modern strength training.

19. The Hero Brought Low: Representations of Milo in Art

    Some thoughts on what our portrayals of Milo in art say about us.

20. Reflections On Martin Ginsburg

    A short appreciation page for my law school professor, the husband of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

21. Some Personal Reflections on Revs and New York in the 90s.

    An appreciation of the great New York City Street Artists Cost and Revs.

22. Phil Coppess — Hero to Working Stiff Runners

    An appreciation of the always inspiring Coppess — a world class talent who also held down a factory job and raised two daughters on his own.

    

23. Books!

    The gateway page of sorts to the hundreds of book reviews on the site.

24. How I Read 52 Books a Year

    A how-to illustrated with pictures from the Wire, the greatest television show of all time.

25. Alex Honnold, Free Soloing and the Viewers Guilt

    A page of my thoughts on what it means to be an Alex Honnold fan. This was written years before Free Solo came out, but touches on many of the same issues.

26. The Barkley Marathons

    A page with some thoughts and ideas on the Barkley Marathons, the worlds most insane foot race.

27. Book Nerds: Richard Prince

    A short piece about the book collection of world renowned contemporary artist Richard Prince

28. 12 Thoughts on the New York City Marathon Course

    My own idiosyncratic take on the course of the world’s greatest marathon

 

*A lot of individual BQ(Q) responses also would have made the top 25, but those can all be seen in this list of the Most View Responses to the Boston Qualifier Questionnaire.
