Go Team! (particularly at B2B)
55 min & 50 min, respectively.
including up and down Beech Mtn. Broken toe healing up beautifully. The only painful parts of this run were the stairs up the fire tower. Ouch!
just strolling with Vanessa. Got to see Bob on his bike and Donna hiking. Go Team Eden!
45:50
how was the company?
Got myself a PR this morning at the 10k here. It was a rolling course, and perfect weather. And my nieces cheering me on a the finish made it all the sweeter.
Hope folks had fun at B2B!
Nice job Diane!!
Despite a nagging hip issue that has brought all running to a halt and a lumbar issue that has made walking difficult, I just rode 47 miles pain free. Go figure.
sounds like you have a great time
From "one of those" barefoot/minimalist dudes: it's gotta be the shoes! That's all I have to say about that...
Mike, As a running shoe buyer for over 10 years, didn't you break your toe wearing those trendy "shoes"? ;^)
as charged
In so pleading, I would further state that my injury was caused more by the klutziness of the wearer of the shoe, rather than an implicit design flaw. I wonder if you've gotten a feel for how many people have been led to purchase the Vibrams from reading "Born to Run" by Chris McDougall, since they're mentioned fairly prominently in the book. I'd think it would be a sizeable fraction. I bought mine back before they were cool (when I just looked stupid wearing them).
I read a bunch of that book until it just felt like a John Nichols novel and I stopped. Early on it seemed like most people had read or knew about the book but 5-fingers seem to have passed a tipping point and they are totally going OFF at retail now. I've sold them to teenagers who just thought that they "looked awesome" but the minimalist shoe trend definitely got them there.
i ran 45:53 i wanted to finish in the top 2000 ended up 974 53rd of 308 in my are group i will admit this year i had a training plan Couch to a 10k but traded it for the Beach chair 2 to the water/boat @ camp plan my long run has been 5 miles and my hill training has been 10 sec. sprints and a couple of runs with Shannon of about 20/25 min.
So my P.R. must be from my new vitamins and the HUMMUS Shannon has had me gagging down mixed with a big box of wheat thins i was dipping swedish fish in the hummus but it made everyone else @ camp not want any hummus so i have had to cut back on that when other people are eating now i am trying to talk myself out of going to Blue Hill to do the mnt. run @ 11 am
with Karen and Lisa. I made it with no walking. I think having friends to talk with kept me going. Felt great! We even raced to the finish, loads of fun!!
