Completed a few days ago. Pretty good. The story jumped around a bit, but it was all within context.

How I did it
It made me
feel accomplished 
How I did it: I trained for 15 weeks, with a few interim 5 and 10k races throughout. My taper was heavier than I had planned. The last week and a half I really didn't run at all. My main concern was getting injured along the way, as one of my knees has really been giving me trouble lately. For the most part I stuck to my training, and finished close to what my goal was.

It made me
Mustachioed 
How I did it: Its kinda obvious. Puberty and not picking up a razor helps. It started to really get annoying toward the end. And I definitely got some wierd looks. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: My W2s were mailed to me a few weeks back. I went online to get my 1099s and 1098 info. I logged onto TaxAct.com, went through the question prompts, itemized my deductions, paid my $14 fee, and filed electronically. I should have my return money direct deposited within the next 2 weeks. All in all, it was less than one hour's work. Read how I did it…

Finished last night. Definitely a different one. Very topical for when it was written.

Finished a week ago. Liked this one alot. The hippy-ish, out-doorsy theme made is a fun read. There were some heavy moments, but the characters really shined.
