Sometimes a nickname just sticks.

The year was 1994.  I had been running ultramarathons since 1989 with some success.  I had speed in the legs.  I had endurance.  I had style.  I had a stress fracture.

 

After 8 weeks of no running, and substituting eating as a sport, the weight went from 158 to 180 lbs.  All of it in the gut. 

 

Bring on the Granite Falls 50k.  A hilly dirt road race with several miles of overgrown trails and tank traps.  Momentum was with me as I pulled away during the final few downhill miles for the win.  All they could say is “The Fatboy Can Run”
