RR is very close to LOST. We had 2 2-person relay teams this year if any of y'all want to come run that. Half on gravel 2-track for you trail lovers. And I could find you a honky tonk, I'm sure.

#4091 runnergirl
Sue was also a witness to my first of 3 falls (I think we were on the back half of the first loop.) My legs were so cold and numb that it didn't even hurt. Roots were bad, but that just made it all the more fun.
RR may be one to think about...not sure if I really want to run 50 miles though. 50K is good enough for me! |
|
#4090 windjunkee
My dearest apologies Sue. I did not mean to imply that you weren't there at the site running the course. I only meant you weren't in the vicinity when Mizz continually hit the trail. My apologies for any implication to the contrary.
I would consider coming down for Rocky Raccoon next year. I had a blast there last year. Can we go Honky Tonking again? |
|
#4089 RB
Rocky Raccoon is Feb 5 next year.
Come on down!! More Mexican food awaits! |
|
#4088 sue
WJ = I did my loop at SunMart. At my speed, at least, those trails were runnable...for the most part. But for the blood blisters....<insert the "I could have done it story" here>
I saw the C2M results....ouch. Never anything I'd think about doing. Rocky Racoon is Feb/March. |
|
#4087 windjunkee
"Very Runnable Trails"? ummm Sue, I know you weren't there, but I happened to have witnessed Mizz going down 5 times in 50 miles. I went down once and echoing through the woods all day was the distinct sounds of "thud ... ooof" (kicking a root and hitting the dirt)
When is Rocky anyway? Wasn't it just held? By the way, they just had Coyote Two Moon this past weekend. 150 starters in the 100 mile/100k combined -- 32 finishers. The weather was a factor apparently, with snow on the course, rain and wind. |
|
#4086 runnergirl
When is that Sue?
|
|
#4085 sue
SunMart was very runnable trails. I liked it there. RR 50/100 is in the same park. We know where the hotel is. We know where the Potato Shack is.
hmmmm...... |

Perhapes a proper fitting running shoe would help in the survival of toe nails? ...just saying.
Flyboy, you don't want to go there,(long distance runs) turn the other cheek, save you toe nails. RIDE! Windjunkee, your weird. My toe nails are to pretty to do long distance running. That and I'm to fat! Keep up the training Utah people only 7 weeks. |
|
#4083 runnergirl
Love you too Flyboy!
|
|
#4082 windjunkee
Flyboy,
There's a 26 mile training run on the Leona Divide course this coming saturday. . . I'm just sayin' . . . |

#4081 flyboy Subject: Toe nails and trail running
First of all, I have to second RunnerGirl's toe nail report, she has had nasty toes for the 20 + years that I've known her. That being said, she didn't start running long distance until about 10 years ago and trail running until about 5 years ago so blaming her nasty toes on running doesn't seem quite fair.
I'm interested in trying some of this crazy trail running. First I have to get my wife through her first Ironman and lose about 15 pounds that I've put on in my post IMAZ laziness. |
|
#4080 runnergirl
Toenails, you had toenails up until Vermont, Mizz?
I am constantly either missing or about to lose a toenail. I know, TMI, but just had to say it. Flyboy will vouch for me. |
|
#4079 windjunkee
Its okay Mizz. You can't be good at everything.
|

#4078 sue

trail running
|
|
#4076 runnergirl
that sounds so fun WJ. After Ironman is over, I really want to get back to trail running. I am sure I will never have the "Sunmart" experience again, but I really fell in love with trail running that day.

#4075 windjunkee
RG,
You missed it. It was really pretty out there. Didn't rain on me at all though the streams were up and the trails were a little muddy. There was only about 2 inches of new snow near the top of Saddleback, but that was only the last mile of the climb. All in all, it was around 20 miles in 4:50. I felt pretty good. The trail didn't beat me, but I didn't beat it. I call it a draw. I could only run about 40 percent of it on fresh legs and even then, only with a stride length of about 6 inches at a time. |
|
#4074 runnergirl
Nice RB!! It's getting closer!!!
|
|
#4073 sue
<high 5>
way to ride, RB! |
|
#4072 RB
Cr@ppy run yesterday, but got the time in the shoes.
Rode out in the country today, a hilly 67 mile supported route. Good hill riding for this flatlander! |

#4070 sue
good job, RG and Twister! Getting to the hard work now....you guys are doing great!!!
|
|
#4069 josef
Runnergirl, you should have put the trainer outside in the rain and then you would know how I felt doing moma and papa bear at IMLP.
|
|
#4068 runnergirl
Great job on your race BT!
|
|
#4067 runnergirl
Was able to do a little more than half of the ride outside yesterday. Twister and I hit some hills, but then it started to rain. The lightening and thunder
Was able to run outside today. Did a brick and felt pretty darn good. I think I am starting to see all this hard work pay off! |
|
#4066 josef
My activity yesterday in video
Good job Bt. |
|
#4065 sue
way to go, bets!!!
I'll be sharing some bike-love with you tomorrow |
|
#4064 bt
4th place at Urban Dare race...good times....and my foot is ok (a little tender, but not painful).
now onto the bike... |
|
#4063 sue
sounds like a beautiful run, WJ.
How did the ride go RG? other Utahers? |
|
#4062 windjunkee
RG,
Running from Holy Jim Canyon. You and Flyboy ought to come up. I imagine you don't want to run the "up" trails but there are some really cool places to run back in the canyons there. But my route will take me from Holy Jim Canyon, up Trabuco trail to the Horsethief Canyon trail, up that (the asskicking hill) to Main Divide, Main Divide to Santiago Peak and back down Holy Jim Trail to the car. Its about 16 miles on the loop. Sound like fun? The water is flowing back there, so there are streams and waterfalls. It is gorgeous! |
|
#4061 josef
HTFU!
|
|
#4060 runnergirl Subject: HTFU and WJ
I will HTFU, but am going to ride the trainer if it is raining considering my bike handling skills are not the greatest. Don't mind running in the rain.
WJ- which hills are you running?? |
|
#4059 windjunkee
HTFU Runner Girl! Hit the roads and Train Train Train!
I have a fun 12 miler tomorrow and then 16 miles of hills on sunday in the neighborhood of the Vas household |
|
#4058 sue
have a great weekend of training, RG! You are getting there!!!!!
|
|
#4057 runnergirl
Looks like I am going to get rained out again this weekend
Guess this way I can't crash on my bike! (Though I did tip over on the trainer once) Wishing everyone the best this weekend! |

Long run tomorrow morning, swim afternoon.
Sunday, brick. Riding in a good organized ride through some rolling hills. Easy swim later if I'm not completely trashed by then. |

wj - You did not see any monkeys wearing pants did you.......maybe that's just my hallucinations
RB - Way to end the weak strong willem - you are my hero SuFe - Nice to know someone would look for alligator layer downers Softball started - Yeah!!!! I have been core training and some light running. Dropped 8 pounds since the beginning of the year. 20 more to go and I it might be a little easier on my back to run. Still at it, mixing in some strength training to strengthen these droopy parts. |
|
#4043 josef
Trimom, that is so sad, prayers going out to the yound man.
Windjunkee, glad you had a good time, hallucinations and all. I had coffee while my wife ran 3 hours on the treadmill yesterday. I think I'll be ready to race the Around the bay 30k with her on the 27th, but to be sure I might have another cup or two of coffee before then. |
