    Winter Challenge - 2013

    We are hanging out in New Jersey for another week, after which we will make the 4hr drive over to Pennsylvania and stay for the winter. We are experiencing some engine issues but hoping to get them corrected this week. And although I did grow to love Canada and her people during our travels...

    A weekend full of fun

    We are flying. It's a short flight and 50ks don't tax the body like they used to. Plus we've been told that there will be beer awaiting our arrival. There is a storm floating into San Diego this weekend and we've been told there is a chance that the Oriflamme race may get cancelled. It'll...

    A weekend full of fun

    Vanessa Runs and myself signed up for the Oriflamme 50k here in San Diego for this upcoming Saturday and then I noticed there was another 50k being held on Sunday up in the Bay area. This is a challenge I've wanted to tackle for a few years and so we signed up for the double. Yes folks, that...

    Pineland Farms 50K Trail Run - May 27th 2012

    Isn't this the same race that Isn't this the same race that Trisha is doing as her first 50k as well? Side note - 2012 certainly appears to be the year for first time 50kers. Have a great time out there!

    Getting Goofy By Vanessa Runs

    We were going to see if we could go for the Coast to Coast medal but the registration price of the Disney half is a stalling point. Plus the course is pretty boring from what I've heard.

    Disney World Goofy Challenge Race Report

    We would have loved to skip We would have loved to skip the sales pitch in order to knock out the Dopey run (same as Goofy but add the 5k on Friday). Sadly for us, it wasn't an option or we'd have to pay full price for the room.

    Disney World Goofy Challenge Race Report

    Chaser, we did one of those Chaser, we did one of those Hilton time share sales things and stayed 3 days at one of their resorts for about $100. We had to attend a 2hr sales pitch on Friday which turned out not to be as hard core as we thought it would be.

    Disney World Goofy Challenge Race Report

    On the first weekend of the new year, Vanessa Runs and myself travelled to Orlando Florida to take on the Goofy Challenge. Conditions were perfect, albeit a little cold at the race start, and we were able to run day 1 pretty much barefoot. For the marathon, I ran in my trusty and ancient...

    Running shorts?

    Ink n Burn makes some of the Ink n Burn makes some of the best shorts I've ever worn. A bit on the pricey side but they are well worth it in my opinion. Great color patterns and a great feel to them as well. My only wish is that they had a zip or velcro pocket in the back. I've worn mine...

    2012 Ultra Race Plans

    Hey, those are just tentative Hey, those are just tentative plans. No guarantees that we'll actually run all of them. We've already made one change to the list. We marked off a March May marathon and replaced it with the PCT 50 miler instead. More bang for our buck and it'll be our first 50...

    50K Trail footwear choice (Badger Mountain Challenge, Richland, WA)

    Agree with bubba.  I love Agree with bubba. I love running trails in my Luna originals but it took a few months to break them in and get the leather laces worn in enough so that they didn't require re-lacing every 10 minutes during a run. I've run 2 of my 50ks in them and it is definitely...
