Like January when registration opens. :D :p

Lol... that's true...you are a special sort of nut. It probably wouldn't kill me to do the 12 miles on Saturday and then another 24 on Sunday, but right after I put up that last post I got an email reminder from my doctor that I am scheduled for a biopsy on Friday, which I had forgotten to put on my calendar, so I'm…

Anyone else use Shoe Goo to milk a few more miles out of some of your favorite shoes?

Those are road shoes...

This all sounds like a foot or an *kitten* injury begging to happen...

Is the foot sensitivity related to your diabetes?

@PastorVincent I was just about to register for the Two Face at North Park but realized that I have long training run scheduled for Saturday (my longest one so far) and not sure I want to move it to Sunday after doing a race...

That's a crazy schedule. Or it was when you did it this year. Now that you have done it once, next year it's just another couple of weekends... I can't do the Pittsburgh Marathon. I think about it, but there are way too many runners and it's in the city and too much chaos with the crowds and vendors. I just can't...(said…

I considered carrying bear spray until someone pointed out that a slight shift in the wind would turn me into a peppered snack in the fetal position.

Wait?? You run on over-inflated mattresses?? Just when I thought we could be friends....

Funny... I was thinking it was a great excuse to run 100 miles!

I'm not sure that I buy into this... From January 2017 to mid-May 2018 due to several non-running related issues, I only ran about 200 miles after averaging about 1,400 to 1,800 miles per year for the previous 4 years. In mid-May of this year I ran a 50k with no training at all. Granted, I took a DNF, but I did 21 miles…

On the handgun issue... Don't own guns, have a strong aversion to guns, can't see any reason for anyone to own one so I'm not much use in this discussion. :*

Me... after my last couple of runs.... https://youtu.be/DOCjzDcpDGc

Which is the opposite of me... now that you put it THAT way, what the hell was I thinking? Lol But I have been jonesing for these since they came out. Xero primarily has made their name in hurache running sandals and this shoe is basically their sandal with a mesh casing... and who can't love a 5,000 mile guarantee on the…

Was getting ready to head out for my run when I realized that I wanted another pair of shoes, so I had to stop and order them.... Now I can go do my run...

Because I run either trails or country roads, I do not use any headphones or ear buds... I actually prefer the sounds of the outdoors and the steady slap of my shoes... If I get engrossed in my music on the trails and zone out a tiny bit I will end up taking a dig... And when I am country road running I need to hear loose…

@midwesterner85 I hoofed it today carrying all my stuff... no shops or anything on these back country roads... loaded up with water and Tailwind... had 120 ounces but ran dry with 3.5 miles to go... damn near died...lol... seriously thought about stream water, but dysentery, ya know?

@MegaMooseEsq Loved the report!!

@midwesterner85 Nicely done! Gotta love those unsupported solo training marathons...

Sounds like special sushi for runners...

This past vacation week my macros were off the hook and totally hit my personal "sweet" spot.... Food 40%, Sex 70%, Alcohol 100%

Here is a video by my friend who runs in sandals only... this video was shot right after he did 6 ultras in 11 weeks, which included 3 50ks, a 50 mile and two 100 mile races... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqWmD7VAz4o

I still do some barefoot running to re-adjust my stride and keep my feet healthy. I prefer doing it on trails rather than pavement. And this video is one of the best on barefoot running... one of my all-time favorite vids... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYTb-ataCc4&t=0s&index=28&list=FL7gs2hkzbTeM7dF-IuzWUYg
