Re: Wow, 70 YO Lady's Goals
She did it! 7 ultras of 70 miles or more in 2017 for her 70th birthday. Here is her race report: https://bookladywalker.wordpress.com/2017/11/08/mission-accomplished-save-the-daylight-48-hour-race-englewood-beach-fl-november-3-2017/ I want to be like that. Very cool...It's amazing how many "ol...

Re: Vulture Bait 2017
Sticks 'N Stones was a great event. 5K loops were very runnable with a couple of bigger hills. Aid station half way through. The organizers are seasoned ultrarunners so of course it went off without a hitch. They are going to host a couple of more events, including an indoor track event in January. ...

Re: Vulture Bait 2017
This is one race I haven't done yet but want to try. The weekend never works for me.
Good luck though, I'm sure you'll have a great time. I know it's a great event and a fun course.
Let us know what you think!
I'm doing Sticks 'N Stones tomorrow (50K)

Re: Shoe Lace Tying... Whaaaat
I used the lacing technique to take the pressure off the bunion area on my foot as the shoe was a bit too tight! I've used the lock method in the past (when I first started running). These are great suggestions.

Re: Thick Thursday
It was a nice evening here in Vancouver/Burnaby. The Vancouver Marathon Society had a garage sale and 6k run event that I and a couple of other folks from my run crew attended. I ran to the event from work for a 5.5k run and then we ran from East Vancouver down to Science World and back for an inte...

Re: Bear Aware Thursday
It was my first bear sighting of the year this morning! MIchelle and I were just heading around the field behind our local rec centre to get onto the trail when I spotted something big, black, and furry ambling along the train tracks that run parallel to the trail. "Bear!" and we held up ...

Re: Racing Sunday
Mississauga Marathon for me today! Weather was better than forecast (thank goodness), but wind still there at spots. Didn't make my goal but still a good result. Was uncomfortable from about 18K on so glad to see the finish line.

Re: Running Mules..
This just seems to continue to be a thing in almost every race :roll: Getting a BQ is nothing to brag about anymore, and the sooner they just change the damn race into a lottery or better yet just another race, the better. I'll rather continue doing London, Chicago, Toronto, NYC, LA than wanting to...

Re: Podium Saturday
3/5/10km races today. Our local Mad Hatters Run club had 8 AG spots, plus RM's very own barebuns1 got 3rd AG. I stuck to my strategy, push but not all out which gave me 3rd AG. Overall a great day. Nicely done, congrats!! Pick your posion 25K trail run for me today! Nice to be back on the trails.

Re: When you run Boston with Ridiculous Enthusiasm..*now with text!
Like Lisa said, your story sounds like my first run in Boston as well....heat wave and 4:39:xx. My slowest marathon ever. It's not an easy course and coming off the winter weather it's hard to run with any heat, let alone a lot of heat!! It's all about the experience though. Once you realize that it...
