Okay, listen all Winnipeg Maniacs! Another group trail run for this coming Monday, June 28th!

PM me if you want the details.

Kristen: As was said above, ultras are more about the mindset than about the mileage. You already have the mileage. What you have to have is the mindset. You in particular would need to let go of your need to over-analyze everything. ;) Just run. Find a race that excites you and run it. It's that s...

Scott Jurek actually started off with a 50 miler (the same race I'm doing in July!) I knew you'd catch that. :wink: Oh yeah, I'm not going to let you in on my super-secret training plan. I'm not going to show the enemy my marching orders! :wink: ultraslacker, I'll send you a PM. :lol: Well, I'm not...

I've got everything planned out to get 400km in including my taper, race, and recovery. :P And with plenty of wiggle room to do a bit more. :twisted: I'd love to see that plan, since my race is the same distance but I'm aiming for 300k.... how are you getting so much more?! I'd like to see both of ...

Wish I could have made it out for the fun, but I had a tri team practice tonight.

No worries, eme. We'll grab you next time.

Hope you had a good practice!

You only seem short because Kristen was pushing your head down. You can see it in the second picture! :lol: Oh dear... sorry Sue! that looks just awful, doesn't it?! :shock: :o :lol: :wink: ... but the truth is you 2 were squirmy, we 3 were stinky, we were all getting eaten alive, and I was trying ...

7.25 miles done on the trails with Kristen and Habs.

At approximately 6:25 pm, Dale lept out of the bush: "Hi guys!" He had already been running and was visibly sweating - where had he come from? Had he run all the way there? We were so happy that he had found us... and so were the bugs! Boy were the bugs out. Fortunately, we were all spraye...

+1 I can definitely relate to this!

PM me if you're up for a group trail run this evening, and I'll send you the details.

some of us don't have kids! ;) my only responsibility outside of work is my dog, and I take him running with me! (not all the time, but enough that I don't feel guilty for neglecting him. ;) Yep. No kids here, and I'm now living as a single (married yet separated) person. While I would not wish the...

Good thing she screamed. Hope she's okay now and can get back to running -- without running in fear.

Eta: yeah, that's my 'hood, too. Sigh.

It's kind of cool that people are looking out for one another... and willing to share thoughts on mileage.
We have a good little thing going on here.

Also agreed, but here's another:

No, that would be a joke. I won't be making training decisions based on sartorial similarity. 200 is plenty for me, thanks.
