That was a very gritty run. You make it sound so normal. I'm astonished that your feet could be in such good shape with all the cool damp weather and uncertain footing. That's outstanding. I really enjoyed the report. I hope this does act as a great spring board for the 100 mile run in the spring. I...

I'm saddened to hear of your pain.

Beautiful stuff clocker. Really beautiful! I make wonderful french baguettes and I found them the easiest when it came to learning how to make bread. My hand-made bread always turns out better than the bread machine bread. I agree with Holly that for me it's an intuitive process and I go by feel. I...

Need pics!

Good luck to the organizers, volunteers and runners. Looks like it's going to be a banner day weather wise. I hope you all have a great run.

I agree that volume measure is not the best and a scale is the way to go if you can swing it. The game is really one of hydration. :shock: 60% if I remember correctly.

Congratulations Karen. #6 and counting. Winter is a perfect season to cure and injury.
Cheers!

Loved the report. Fantastic run Steve. Congratulations.

Ian did come out last year... hey Ian, you have one more chance to make it this year!!! :D Thanks for asking, but I'll pass. No racing for me this year. I miss the energy the volunteers pump into this series though. You guys really made it a wonderful introduction to trail running for me last year,...

When I first tried to swim laps I was astonished at how hard it was. I took to asking the guards, once in a while, for some tips about how to improve my efficiency. By the end of that winter I was able to swim like I run now... which isn't saying a whole lot I suppose. :wink: It was great work and I...

It's so good to hear you having fun out there racing. Congrats on another fast time logged with the bigger game in mind.
Cheers! Ian

Man that was fun to read! Congratulations on one sweet win and huge PB.
Ian

Thanks for this. Pacing is a favourite topic of mine. Don't be too hard on yourself and risk missing another second of smile time doing so.
Hugs.
Ian

I love the fun you're having with your active lifestyle. What a wonderful surprise for you to PB that familiar course without any intention of doing so. Congrats on finding an impressive balance.

Ian

Congratulations! I've been out there cheering, but not as a runner. I loved the atmosphere there.
Ian

Lovely, thanks. I love pinto beans, vegan or otherwise. To me there is no better bean.
Ian

I love that you are so focused on the fun!
Ian

This has been such an effective strategy to getting positive results for me. Great points! I had to learn this from scratch and am still working on putting this into habit. It's helped facilitate far better communication through conflicts of all kinds. Thanks for the reminder. Although I'm a committ...

Timely. I was pondering my shoe wear pattern tonight. Now I'm curious about this type of cushioning. They sound divine.
Ian

Excellent! Keep up the good work. Steady as she goes!
Ian

Awesome result! When isn't speed a great surprise? You're making some great progress dude. Well done?
