While I haven't yet graduated to loose gravel, I know some have. I can do chipseal and mild gravelly trails now, and common debris and even broken glass from cars, although not bottles, doesn't bother me in the least. The worst is the odd, stray, sharp rock on top of smooth asphalt or cement that pops up when you least expect it. As in almost everything else, the ability of our bodies to adapt is amazing, given time.
lolYeah....you should run purely on loose grave....that should really speed up your recovery...lol

About three weeks agoI got caught out on the golf course in a torrential down pour. I was already in the clubhouse having dropped my clubs off in my truck. So after my 19th hole beverage I had to brave the elements, my truck was parked way across a gravel parking lot. So I had to hightail to get to my truck. So now I am sitting in my truck after my dash and the thought hit me that when I parked, it took some careful walking to get into the club house (lots of loose pointy stuff) and I had just raced across this parking lot barefoot and not felt a thing. It kind of left me bewildered as to how that was. Still a little confused, I do not know if it was the beer or my form.

The other thing is, when some of you talk about "just run", I think that's what you did when you scooted across the parking lot. No thought on running, just on getting in your vehicle asap. Maybe beer and thunderstorms are key tools in good running form. That would make a great race title......the first annual "Get Drunk and run in a Thunderstorm 10K". Scheduling that bad boy would be tough though.Or just call it "Beer and Thunder 10K"A couple of things in play here I think. I've definitely noticed a little beer relaxes me.
course that could be a cool event to do with motorcycles....thunder being the sound of the cruisers...
You are right though, no thought about running at all, it was get there as quick as I can. The beer could have counted for prerun carbs though.A couple of things in play here I think. I've definitely noticed a little beer relaxes me.
then if it didn't storm you could get a hardware store to sponsor the run....lol
So are you doing the trail trial after all? Thought you were bowing out due to low funds?
