True story, she asked to go to #Costco next…

I asked, and you delivered. 26 miles, 2000s pop edition. What else should make the cut? Tell me in the comments! #nycmarathon #marathon #marathonplaylist #runningmusic #marathoner

Just about 3 weeks until the the NYC marathon. 3 week taper begins… This year I’m running with New York Road Runners for Team for Climate. If you’d like learn more and support here— fundraisers.nyrr.org/michael-smit...

Heavy on the “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” 😂 #nycmarathon #marathon #marathontraining #marathoner #Nycmarathon2025

It’s all in the prep! But, things are a bit different heading into Year 2. #nycmarathon #marathon #marathontraining #Nycmarathon2025 #marathoner

NYC Marathon signs are such an iconic part of the NYC Marathon experience. What should we do for ours this year? #nycmarathon #marathon #marathonsigns

On Friday, I took 22 miles for a spin. I started too fast, and I thought it’d be cooler out. It was brutal, but I got through it! 34 days till 26.2! Feeling good 👍🏻 #Nycmarathon2025 #nycmarathon #marathontraining #runner #runnerlife

Last year, with your help, I put together the most eclectic, empowering, and sometimes downright silly playlist from everyone who generously donated to my campaign. It ended up being over 3.5 hours of motivation to carry me through 26.2 miles.

Nothing prepares you for the heartbreak of grabbing your coat in front of your dog 😅

Some NYC Marathon memories. Bib pickup, pups at the starting line, mile 25 joy… Excited to make more memories in 41 days. Fun fact: a lot of folks will wear a bathrobe (or something they wouldnt mind never seeing again) and donate it at the starting line! #nycmarathon #nycmarathon2025

Why relax when you can run until everything hurts?

Caught. Red. Handed. 🐾

As you can tell, it is incredibly serious and extremely technical. #marathonrunning #marathoner #runnerlife

Living her absolute best life!

Writer’s block, but make it endurance training. Blinking not included. #marathontraining #marathonrunner #writerlife #writersblock

Moral of the story: drink your water, friends. Like *more* than you’ve ever drank in your entire life. 😅 #marathontraining #marathonrunning #nycmarathon2025 #nycmarathon #teamforclimate

Every. Single. Bush. Must. Be. Investigated. 🔎 #dogdad #rescuepup #nycdogs #citydog

Today marks 65 days until the NYC Marathon! This year I am running for Team for Climate which is the first charity started by NYRR. I’m excited to share more about their mission! Head to the link below to learn more and donate. 🌍 fundraisers.nyrr.org/michael-smit...

Run pace: steady. Heart rate: fine. Emotional state: being hunted through the English countryside. #marathontraining #marathonrunning #marathoner #runnerlife #runner #runningplaylist

Bored? Have you *seen* my playlists?

Celebrating and reminiscing on nearly a decade of @thehamilcast.bsky.social today! So proud of Gillian, grateful and honored to be a part of the journey, and excited for what’s still ahead before the final episode on January 26, 2026.

“How many marathons have you signed up for since?” Me: “Yes.” #nycmarathon #nycrunner #marathonrunner #runners #marathons

Internal monologue highlights: Mile 1: I could win the Olympics. Mile 20: Is it too late to get into pickleball?

NYC Marathon dropping TS Easter eggs ahead of its time! 👀 #ts12 #nycmarathon

Ah, the gentle lullaby of Keith Morrison describing a suspicious alibi…

Hi (I’m sore, sweaty, and might be injured. Anyway, how are you?) #marathoner #runner #nycrunner #marathonrunning #marathontraining #runningmemes #running #runnerlife

NYC Marathon: Less than 90 days to become a sign legend. No pressure. #nycrunner #marathonrunner #runners #nycmarathon #nycmarathonsigns #marathons #newyorkcitymarathon

Running 26.2 miles is extremely glamorous. #nycrunner #marathonrunner #runners #marathontraining #running #marathonpictures

Time to start practicing those pre-dawn wake-ups again! Also, I dislike people’s gym etiquette, so I will literally do anything to have the place to myself. #runner #marathonrunner #marathontraining #nycrunner #running #runnerlife #nycrunning

Peak performance meets peak awkward. #fannypack #nycrunner #marathonrunner #runners #runnerthings #marathontraining #running

Just a lil something to take the edge off, jazz edition.

Forecast says 70% humidity today— this calls for a pep talk! 🥵 #marathontraining #marathonrunning #marathonrunner #nycrunner #nycmarathon #runnerlife #runner

Runners will say this is the best feeling in the world and then casually mention their nipples are bleeding… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ah, to be a dog!

#1 in Late Night. Cancelled. 🤔🤔🤔Unbelievable and indefensible. #savecolbert

Summer (and life) tip: Everything’s better with jazz. Here’s what’s on my playlist.

Hands down the hardest moment of the NYC Marathon for me. But the reward was a pretty sweet moment. Gearing up for round 2 this year— this time running for Team Climate with New York Road Runners. Learn more here: fundraisers.nyrr.org/michael-smit...

My creative process in three acts.

Last fall, I kicked off my 26.2 miles with a 3.5-hour playlist made entirely of songs chosen by the amazing folks who donated to my fundraiser. Here’s just a small peek. Every step started with your support in my ears—and it meant a lot.

COO of Cuddles. CFO of Treats. CEO of Cute. She does it all. #dogdad #nycdogs #bestpup #rescuedog

Yesterday was a perfect day to run the Achilles Hope and Possibility Race! #goachilles A special Jon Stewart sighting was fun too! #marathontraining #marathonrunning #runnerlife #nycrunner #nyrr #runner #nycmarathontraining

Still cool? Absolutely. Just way more sweaty. #marathontraining #marathonrunning #runnerlife #runner #runnerhumor

Running logic: no explanations needed, just trust the madness. #marathontraining #marathonrunning #shinsplints #runnerlife #runner

Yes the rumors are true, I won the Gold Medal on my run around the block yesterday! #Marathoner #marathonrunner #runnerlife #running #nycrunner #nycmarathontraining #runner

Here we go again! I am proud to be running the 2025 NYC Marathon with New York Road Runners Team for Climate! You can support and learn more here: fundraisers.nyrr.org/michael-smit... THANK YOU for all of your support as I prepare for round 2 of the NYC Marathon 🙌

This one was for Pete. My first running partner. #marathoner #runner #nycrunning #marathonrunning

Got my @newbalance.bsky.social + my Salomon nutrition vest 🤷🏻‍♂️👑 #marathonrunner #marathoner #runnerlife #runner #nycrunning

Cutest running partner status: confirmed. #marathontraining #marathonrunning #marathonrunner #nycrunner #dogdad #nycdogs #dogrun

Three trips to the water bowl, and still panting! #runnerlife #nycdog #dogdad #5k #marathonrunner #marathonrunning #running #nycrunning #nyrr #virtual5k
