Flexibility does cause you to avoid injury, but too many people who stretch do it wrong. So stretching correctly is great.JeffOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605694694141975178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018650891518532595.post-57575696044766785662009-07-19T22:02:55.695-07:002009-07-19T22:02:55.695-07:00There&#39;s this guy David you might know, he just so happens to be a trainer AND do bodywork.

Truly apreciate it. If your foot heals up, we&#39;ll actually have to get in some miles together. Not sure I want to devote the time to train for course records, but maybe. I would like to destroy the CT supported record. That one is highly appealing. Get in touch if you want to run, climb, whatever. In fact, climbing might be just the activity for you. I&#39;m still very new to the sport, but am looking forward to getting chalk on my hands.mnodurfthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17383043824368072551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018650891518532595.post-59943737949745761052009-07-14T07:11:17.715-07:002009-07-14T07:11:17.715-07:00Glad you&#39;re back!<br />I&#39;m not. Plantar faciitis. Can&#39;t train at all.<br />Hope to see you out there again with a better plan. You definitely can be a course record kind of guy across the state, if you can stay in one piece.<br />But fun and health are the game.

I never became an elite athlete because of that. Be careful.<BR/>BUT! I think you can do Collegiate. Ankles are more forgiving than other injuries. Stay off those heals - surely you have or you wouldn't be so fast, right?<BR/>Collegiate Peaks isn't very hard on your feet. The railroad grade is the hardest part, and the last couple of miles (paved). What you lack in tissue strength, you can make up for in muscle strength. Just do the right kinds of ankle exercises and stay on your toes and you should do fine.<BR/>You'll finish way ahead of me either way. I'm hoping for a 9:15.<BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>Are you running this weekend?<BR/>How far?<BR/>Maybe we can hook up while you're slow so you don't trounce me?JeffOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605694694141975178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018650891518532595.post-25320297599295099452009-02-24T07:47:00.000-08:002009-02-24T07:47:00.000-08:00Good to hear you're back on your feet again.JeffOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605694694141975178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018650891518532595.post-32538761975424162132008-12-20T21:11:00.000-08:002008-12-20T21:11:00.000-08:00Sorry to hear it.

This would've been my 50 mile debut and I didn't train for the distance or the terrain. Mentally I wasn't ready to be out there for 10 hours. Not knowing what to do, I just went out with the leaders, who happened to be E. and K. Skaggs. I had no idea who they were. I got dropped a little less than 2 hours into the race, took a wrong turn that added a couple hundred feet of climbing on back up to the course, and then eventually just said the hell with it and caught a jeep back to down. I need to go back for some redemption, but I won't be able to put in the proper training to race it this year as my goals are a 2:35 marathon in May and then to be competitive at Pikes in Aug. Still, Lake City is very cool, San Juans are the best part of the state, so it'd be great to get back down there for some miles.Justin Mockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16172731732367510550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018650891518532595.post-51838815606840691012008-12-13T21:01:00.000-08:002008-12-13T21:01:00.000-08:00SJS50 is easy - it's only the last 50 miles that are hard.<BR/>I was pretty wigged-out from this race's reputation, but it was for nothing. Sure it's tough, but don't let the rep fool you. It's still only 50 miles. If you go by effort, then it's no different. It's the weather you have to worry about.<BR/>But it's hard to think about next year when I can't run. It's been a whole week since I've run and I don't even feel like a runner anymore.<BR/>I've already signed up for Zane and Jemez. SJS50 opens Jan 15. Good luck. I anticipate the registration will fill in less than an hour, unless the servers crash.<BR/>First race is getting registered. The second race is on foot. I'm training my mouse finger.JeffOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605694694141975178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018650891518532595.post-45814982874405690262008-12-12T16:41:00.000-08:002008-12-12T16:41:00.000-08:00justin, thanks man. not sue if i'm going to want/need a pacer or crew, but i haven't put much thought into yet. you're quite a bit faster than me, and i just might be able to use your speed to push me through the tough parts. i'll be in touch.mnodurfthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17383043824368072551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018650891518532595.post-25389853669302537892008-12-12T08:37:00.000-08:002008-12-12T08:37:00.000-08:00SJS 50 - I'd be up for crewing/pacing.

We were thinking it maybe a wolf spider but have never seen one other than pictures. That sucker is big! <BR/><BR/>On another note, you are putting in some good miles! I see you have Run Rabbit Run 50 mile on your schedule. If you have never run around Steamboat, the scenery is spectacular! We ran some of the course as part of the Mtn. RATS race. Don't know if the wild flowers are still gonna be out but they are pretty amazing.
