DISQUS

Good Luck on your very long run! What a name for a race. Will the trails be lite up? Sounds a little dangerous to me. Be careful!

Wonderfully written, mankind battling the elements.

Nice hike!

Texas is getting a lot of RAIN – via The Weather Channel. It might be wise to run with an inflatable raft.
: )
I bet you will do great in your next race – a few low mileage days = rest.

I’ve only seen one live moose. (And I grew up in Canada.) I was cross -country skiing near Banff; it was munching a nearby tree. Magnificent animal.

(You still use film?)

lol - my dog eats them. And she has been stung - dumb dog.
I sat on one last year...not too wise either.

Just keep stretching - the muscle will build up strength again. Have you tried working out in the pool?

I knew a Soccer player who couldn’t even straighten up. Years of vigorous activity and no stretching has a price.

And he didn't even look tired - what a rush!

I like your #3 suggestion. I really want to do a race in another country! Once I get my passport, I'm going to start looking.

Good Luck on your race!

Yes, what we put on our skin is absorbed. Never heard of someone dying from Ben Gay. Yikes!

[I have worries about sunscreen too.]

LOL - maybe he was just being polite.

Sad times for sure....Rest! It's the only cure.

Don't you hate getting lost - you keep running in hopes you're going the right way... looking for any signs and then Bingo some miles away yells out " You're going the wrong way!"

Rest up and you will feel better.

I am going to keep up with the occasional long run. (At least a 7 miler) lol
Like your new theme and the Flickr header!

Try "Badger Sore Muscle Rub"

PS. I actually like the smell of some menthol rubs - but not BenGay

The first ones I bought couple of years ago, burned out in about 6 months. [And they are bad for the land fill.] But I'm going to give them another chance. My desk light is halogen. (good or bad?)

Going to be "one hell of " an election. Hopefully I will be a Citizen by then so i can vote! (I'm Canadian)
PS. Al Gore should be running outside on a path - not on a treadmill if he wants to conserve energy ; )

I use a cheaper priced Sony earbuds. I had bought some expensive ones - white wire of course. But they are too heavy and fall out of my ears when running. They do have great sound but totally block out the background sound - which can be dangerous when running in traffic.
I recommend Sony.

I've seen a few runners wearing these nose strips at races - they look silly. But, Hey if the strips help you get more air in your lungs - go for it. ( (it's important to breath out too : 0

Including portage!

Great workout and pictures.

Yikes! Look out for the Big Rocks and Fig Newtons.

; )


Nice day for the event.

Yikes – A crash with another runner. Not fair he ran off and left you alone with an injury. I would have stopped.

RICE – but I’m sure you’re already doing this.

Culverts – big fun!

I've been to Northampton - but never to New Hampshire. Sounds like a very nice region of the States. Thanks for sharing your route.

Do they have teeth?
