Just Jim · Oct 24, 2010

Javelina was a tough one for me.
 
Called it a day at 100k - but I love me my shiny new buckle <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif">
 
I saw Dove going out for her last 9 - she looked strong, she could well be a 100 miler in the very near future (if not already) - Congrats Dove!!!
 
Lots of pictures, will post later.
 
Jimbo tired.

merigayle · Oct 24, 2010

Good job on your 100K, Jimbo <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif">
 
I am sick with a NASTY head cold or sinus snafu. We had a fall festival today, and a party last night, so no running for me. Next Sunday is my birthday and I asked for a long run <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"> So, hoping to get a nice one in. Hoping to get a few in before my next 100 miler. My post DE100 training has been pitiful.

Very nice!!
 
I do enjoy seeing everyone's photos - lots of beautiful places waiting for me to run. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title="">

1Topodope · Oct 24, 2010

Well, I had a first this weekend. I ran 16 trail miles on Saturday w/ friends. I ended up basically walking the last 2 miles. It turns out I was pretty dehydrated - lost 5 pounds during the run. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/shock.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title="">
 
It has never happened to me before and I am not sure why it happened this time. I am supposed to do 20 w/ friends next weekend. I will be sure to pay a lot more attention to how much I am drinking and how often.

Mobius · Oct 24, 2010

I joined a group of about two dozen folks on the second training run of the Mountain Masochist course. We ran the last half this time. Marc Griffin was there to enjoy the gorgeous day and was gracious enough to keep tabs on me (under the guise of being tired from Grindstone.) Everyone I met was as pleasant as can be and it was great running with a group of about half a dozen folks. I am a bit curious of Marc's ride (Jack?) that apparently ran off course. The car was gone by the time I left so I imagine he figured it out eventually! It was great to meet everyone.
 
The ankle-deep layer of leaves hit the rocks well and made for some interesting descents.
 
A few photos of the day:
 
From the Blue Ridge Parkway (not on the course):

cgerber · Oct 25, 2010

Trudged around in the mountains, elk hunting, on Saturday. Saw a couple of moose, but that was it.
 
Fall has officially ended in the high country:
<a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.kickrunners.com/content/type/61/id/60891/width/1000/height/800/flags/" target="_blank"><img alt="69372_444987852313_615607313_5459486_2409433_n.jpg" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="14619" data-type="61" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/content/type/61/id/14619/width/667/height/500" style="; width: 667px; height: 500px"></a>
 
That storm delivered about 12" above 11,000'. Tonight there's another moving through with another 12-24" for the mountains.

Dove · Oct 25, 2010

I ran my first 100 (javelina). Just Jim kept me smiling every time I saw him, he was dressed as a cheerleader/clown and seeing this tall, busty cheerleader running through the desert just cracked me up. I wish we had run together for a bit.

ding0jimm · Oct 25, 2010

Congrats Dove and Just Jim! One of these days I might get out to the desert to run.
I ran a nice slow 8... I am in my final week of taper before Marine Corp this weekend (on Halloween).

merigayle · Oct 25, 2010

congrats Dove!!!!!!

Salts may be more of an issue along with the fluid intake. Increase your salts and I'll bet you feel much better.

Awesome job out there, recover well. It wasn't supposed to be a clown, but I learned that lipstick can smear when running - and kinda ended up with clown lips, it wasn't until an aid station volunteer handed me a tissue and suggested I clean up - apparently I had "Royal Red" all over my face (pretty much everything I wore ended up with shades of pink on it!

After 15 miles - time to lose the hair. I don't like hair

Door County, WI - Fall 50 miler
 
Perfect weather for a big horse - mid 40s @ start - light winds - low 50s at the finish. Rained for last 20 miles. The Fall 50 is a road race - 1st 30 miles rolling with 5-6 major hills (Not that bad - But I walked 4 of them). I basically cruised the 1st 30 miles in 4:14 and then ran the last 20 in the rain in 2:38 for 6:52
 
I love to do races teamed up with my wife as a crew. 1) She is the worlds best crew - She was even able to help out 4 other runners a few time 2) Then we accomplish it together.
 
I was never passed after mile 15 - I was in @ 40th place for awhile, 20th @ mile 30 and finished 6ht OA and 4th master - Damn fast old farts!
 
Very nice after party - Paced myself well on the beer and pizza and lasted 4 of the 7 hours - I could have went for broke and closed it down - But I was happy with what I had drank already!

Flounder · Oct 26, 2010

Thanks - I felt so good on Sunday I ran 12 miles.
 
Unlike The days after the Oct 10th Glacial 50 mile trail run where it took me a week to be able to walk

Holy Smokes Mike! 2 weeks after running a brutal course at Glacial Trail 50M. Sub7:00 to boot. Flat out amazing stuff.
 
 Tell me you aren't ready to bust out a good 100M race in the near future. I know you are waiting until 2011. Maybe you could use the KM100M as a launch toward Leadville.

lkschiller · Oct 26, 2010

Relaxing, trying not to worry too much...first 50K on Sunday. Dogwood Canyon 50K in Lampe, MO, put on by Bass Pro Shops. Ran a little this past weekend, like 4 miles. This week I'm spinning a couple days just to do something but that's it. The weather looks like it will be a little warmer than I would like it to be--50-70. Was hoping for fall to get here a little faster.
