Enjoyed your race recap - it really was a beautiful day! I completed the full (my second marathon) in 5:03. I too learned the "turn auto-pause OFF" lesson during the marathon - my garmin said 4:54 when I crossed the finish line so I thought I had beat my goal time of 4:59 - but when the official results were published I was upset. Marathon and Learn I guess!! Also, Im a member at DailyMile.com and highly recommend it - I would love to see you over there! Im friends with DrSmitty as we both live in Chesapeake VA! Too cool to put you and Greg together from the running community! Thanks again for all the great recaps and I cant wait to hear all about your Richmond experience!!

I too am a shift worker. I change shift every 3-4 days I work Day shifts, 4am- 1400, Eve shift 1400-2400 or Mid shift 2000-0600. I am fortunate that I can often run @ work on the Mid shift. However, I can't always count on that. So I often run when I am absolutely drained. I try to run daily because I know I will feel even worse if I don't. Sometimes I do wonder if I am benefitting from runs that I run when I am exhausted. How do you make the shift transitions and running work for you. I can manage on my shorter runs... 5mi. or less. But on Mids/Days cause of lack of sleep it is rough. The worse part is that my body does not get use to a schedule because I am only on a rotation at the most 4 days. Any suggestions. It helps when I run listening to people like yourself that keeps my mind occupied while running... Thank you Diane I love your podcasts. I too am a shift worker.

You are actually one of my favorite podcasts - keep up the great work! The OBX marathon is on my list of "to dos" so, I may just see your brother eventually. Have you tried www.runningahead.com? I actually just signed up and have uploaded a few weeks (http://www.runningahead.com/logs/cf4bba2027f94c5282dd507fe887d176) and like it a lot. I especially like that it interfaces with Garmin pretty well. That said, I haven't looked into Buckeye much. I may have to try them out for a bit to see which is better. Looong time listener.

I went through a period where I had 2-3 online logs while I was trying to find the one that I wanted. RWOL was my primary log. I switched to Buckeye Outdoors. It is a GREAT site. I'm not sure it is really any better than RW, probably just a personal preference. One of the main reasons that I switched was SPORTSTRACKS. Sportstracks is a piece of software that can be used offline, and automatically syncs with Buckeye Outdoors. From there it can be set up to go to Facebbook, and from there to Twitter. You can even get weather info for your runs. Dave, You mentioned switching to buckeye outdoors for your online log.

Just wanted to ask a question about an older podcast of yours - episode 36 I think? I went back in your archives to listen to your OBX Marathon race report - trying to do some research since I'll be running it this year! So, you mentioned a virtual tour website with a map? I found http://obxrunners.appspot.com/ but cant figure out where to go from there to see the course pics - can you offer any tips on that? Or maybe the app is no longer working?
