    Fantasy Football 2013

    Want in? Go to http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/546304 or email me. Basically a few years back this league started. It has always been for money but seems to have the possibility of going away this year for different reasons. This year there is no money involved, just fun. I would like...

    My El Scorcho 50K Training Plan - Constructive Feedback Welcome!

    Well, more details in blog, but basically my ankle was not ready... well. It may have been ready if I had just gone slow like I did on my 25 mile run, but going faster made it blow up by 25K. I guess running hard on a flat, road like course in more minimalist shoes than I had been training in...

    My El Scorcho 50K Training Plan - Constructive Feedback Welcome!

    Here is my more long winded version... http://doomedrunner.blogspot.com/2013/07/el-scorcho-pre-race-blog.html I have been doing some rolling. I plan to send a lot of Saturday afternoon rolling after a nap.

    My El Scorcho 50K Training Plan - Constructive Feedback Welcome!

    Oh, and I have been doing the majority of my non-long runs in the hottest part of the day. My night 18 mile run a couple weeks back almost felt cool at 85 degrees.

    My El Scorcho 50K Training Plan - Constructive Feedback Welcome!

    Got some rock tape today. I noticed a couple things about my good runs - they were on trails, I had rested a few days before, and on a good trail run with Bubba Hotep, I had used KT tape. So I am going to see how this tape feels on my last 4 mile run Saturday, then cross train a little during...

    My El Scorcho 50K Training Plan - Constructive Feedback Welcome!

    Ah. I doubt I will eat clean. Had a 3 miler today. That right shin continues to bug me. It hurts to the touch, but not to jump on and only slightly bothers on some runs, none on others. Better on trails than runs. I feel like I could tape it up and be fine for the race but hope not to have to...

    My El Scorcho 50K Training Plan - Constructive Feedback Welcome!

    I did my final "long run" Saturday night with a friend at the Hike and bike trails in Austin, which is pretty similar to the ES trail. All and all I am happy with where I am. I thought I would have recovered from injury sooner and started speed work and more miles, but that never happened. The...

    My El Scorcho 50K Training Plan - Constructive Feedback Welcome!

    I am excited too. It is part of my ramp up to 100 and my first big milestone since being injured. I did 3 weeks in a row with 20 milers, and last week did 25 and 5 the next day. My legs are just now getting to the point that I can get some miles on them. The injury took a lot longer to recover...

    Rocky Raccoon 2014 - 100 Miles or Bust

    Dallas is garbage. I never hear anyone ever saying they want to move to that stinkhole. If you tell someone from out of state that you are from Dallas they say something about the ridiculous show. If you tell somoene that you are from Austin, they tell you what a great place Austin is and how...

    Rocky Raccoon 2014 - 100 Miles or Bust

    This year that heat advantage might not be there. It has been really mild around my parts for most of the season. All of a sudden we had a hot and HUMID weekend last week and it zapped me... and my running buddy. Also we were getting a lot of smoke from fires in Mexico in Austin. The entire area...

    Chia and Honey Gu Mix

    So I really like Honey Stingers running "gel" and have benefited from chia seeds before. Has anyone tried mixing these and using as a "gu" or gel of sorts? I was thinking I could refrigerate some gu and water over nights, then mush up, and mix honey in, then put in a small container on my...

    Barefoot Running Man offered "a ride" by a dumb@ss fool!

    My buddy runs to one of his jobs and such a lot and has been offered rides a few times. I certainly would be cautious, but in our area it is kind of normal. One time I was running in the country at about 4:30 AM or 5 and had to do a 2. Just then, a car drives by, so I try to just stand there...

    Do Merrill Trail Gloves Stretch? Should they?

    I actually got mine a size large. It everywhere fastens pretty tight on the sides of the mid foot and heel, but I the forefoot has a ton of room. They have slightly shrunk and "curled" in the toe in the wash which makes them perfect for me. I am not a big fan of them on the road and the size-up...

    What beer are you drinking tonight? For the new forum...

    My first altbier tonight. Part of Real ale brewing co.'s Brewer's Cut series. I don't think I like it. I usually really like rabc beers, but this one is not one I will buy again. I think I might dislike malts.

    Rocky Raccoon 2014 - 100 Miles or Bust

    This is going to be great. For a couple of reasons, I have taken down most of my old blog posts so the entire thing will be about my coming back from injury and training for my first 100. Hopefully it will end up being something others can look at if I am successful and I guess even if I am...

    How do you psychologically recover from injury?

    + 1 million. I tore my paroneal tendon and it is hard. Start back slow and take it easy. If the only way you can do the marathon is to overdue it, then re-think things. I've been there and instead of resting, DNF'd a marathon end ended up in a boot cast for 3 months. Also, don't neglect...
