  1. Extreme Running
    <p>I'd have to agree with the injinjis.  I perpetually got blisters in between my 2nd & 3rd toes.  When I switched to the injinjis, they disappeared.  They may not work as well for other areas of the foot, but in my opinion, for between the toes, they can't be beat.</p>
  2. Extreme Running
    <p>Being 1 week after my 1st 50, I decided to take it easy.  2 hrs on the AT on Saturday and then I "treated" myself with a 5k for Labor Day itself (18:31, 1st in age group).  Although, honestly, I'm looking forward to getting back to putting more miles in.</p> <p> </p> <p>However, I did get a...
  3. Extreme Running
    <p>As indicated, here's my RR (my first attempt at a RR). <a href="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/thread/69910/north-country-trail-run-rr#post_1942018" target="_blank">http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/thread/69910/north-country-trail-run-rr#post_1942018</a></p> <p> </p> <div...
  4. Extreme Running
    <p>I just added my RR for the NCTR (my first attempt at a RR).  This was just my take on the day. <a href="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/thread/69910/north-country-trail-run-rr#post_1942018">http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/thread/69910/north-country-trail-run-rr#post_1942018</a></p>
  5. Extreme Running
    <p>Please be kind.  This was not only my first attempt at a 50 miler, it was my first attempt at a RR.</p> <p> </p> <p>Micah</p> <p> </p> <p>After a 14.5+/- hour 2 day drive, the race weekend started off great with a get-together with other runners.  A local family of runners with an open field...
  6. Extreme Running
    <div class="quote-container"> <div class="quote-block">how did runners know where the turn was if it wasn't marked?</div> </div> <p><br> As far as I know, there were also some mountain bikers who knew where we were supposed to be (or not be as the case may be).  I got lucky and got to that turn...
  7. Extreme Running
    <p>I ran my first 50 miler at the North Country Trail Run this weekend.  I finished in 9:25.  I'm in the process of trying to put together a race report.  Of course, that's more just so I have a record of my thoughts from my first "real" ultra.</p>
  8. The PostRace Tent
    <p>I almost got run over by a deer once.  It was the end of twilight and I was trying to squeeze my run in without a light.  When, out of nowhere, I hear a noise coming from in the street.  As I'm hearing this, a deer runs ~2 feet in front of me.  I was trying to figure out how I would explain...

    <p>@Kate - Thanks for the advice. I had thought about socks & shoes earlier, but had since forgotten about it.  I will also definitely pack some handi-wipes.  It sounds like they could come in very handi (ha ha, pun intended).  There isn't really any special food that I thrive on other than...
  10. Extreme Running
    <p>As my first 50 miler (North Country Trail Run in Manistee, MI) is just over a week away, do any of you much more experienced runners have any last minute advice for a newbie?  I think I have my pacing, nutrition, and fluid plans set.  But, I'm not really sure what to do about a drop bag. ...
  11. Extreme Running
    <p>I agree with the communication.  As I'm going into my first 50M very soon, I have quite a few worries.  I'm sure even the most experienced of you out there had your first ultra experience at some time or another.  I would also bet that at most races there is at least 1 1st timer involved.  I...
  12. Extreme Running
    <p>I officially joined your ranks today (at the lowest level).  I ran the Turkey Swamp 50K in Freehold, NJ.  As it was a training run for the North Country Trail Run in MI in 3 weeks, I'm very happy with my performance.  I managed to run a 5:23 and sit right in the mid 10's where I wanted to...
