No chance you'd want to come out to Kettle Moraine in two weeks? :lol: Hey I did it a couple of years ago. Dropped at 100km with Achilles issues. Don't underestimate the open meadows sections. It is hot and humid especially on the return. Hydrate very very well through it. Some pics here - http://t...

Thanks all!

Did it ever! We gave a few away too so we could bring more US craft beer back.

Yep, it was definitely the heat. I was feeling it pretty hard last Sunday. Less than a week since we had snow on the ground, and the mercury was pushing 30 (plus a bit of humidity thrown in for good measure). Running to the conditions is always a better option to running your "usual pace"....

There is no such thing as failure. At the very least, you learn what doesn't work.

Right there is the moment you BQ'd.

That is a great race report. I loved reading it. It got me all fired up, and now I want to go out for a run.

Wrote up my race report on my blog: http://dalesblogaboutnothing.blogspot.ca/2015/05/superior-50k.html

Long story short: It was a tough race, and ridiculous fun.

MY Hokas are in the box waiting to go back to MEC. Wore my new Saucony Ride 7s for the first time today and they felt good. I have also ordered a pair of the Triumph ISO. I have heard that the new Speedgoats are a move back to the quality Hoka was built on. EVA foam cushioning, and a Vibram outsole...

CEP says on their FAQ that the calf sleeves should be used during activity, and not during recovery. http://www.cepcompression.com/faq QUESTION: What is the difference between CEP Compression Socks and Calf Sleeves and when should I wear each?

Whats a side walk? :lol: The article is about downtown areas. But one thing I hate about suburban development/car culture is that many places have no sidewalks. Lighten up! ? I find it very troubling that our society has moved toward reliance on the car. Our children will be paying the environmenta...

I was unaware of that. I guess I'll have to stop drinking Coke Zero and start up on beer.

I suck at sex (documented proof!). But I still enjoy it immensely.

Woot! Woot!

Anybody have any experiences with using an online running coach? Pros? Cons? Recommendations? Soooooooo.... any decisions? :?: :D I went with Karl Meltzer. Seems down to earth. This Saturday is my first race under his guidance, so we'll see how things go. :) How have you found the training compared...

Still taking it easy from my race last Saturday. Big fat goose-egg on my mileage today.

Those of you with better memories than I may remember that I ran in END-SURE 50k two years ago and it was epic. For everybody else, here's my old race report: http://www.runningmania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=46753 Fortunately, this year's edition of END-SURE was completely different. It was...

So I just finished my first race of the year last Saturday, and I was reminded of one thing: You need to eat more than you think you should, and you need to drink more than you think you should. Both should be done in small amounts and spread out at regular intervals (not necessarily at the same tim...
