    where do your thoughts wander on (longer) runs?

    I used to think up poems and song lyrics, and even chapters of books that I wanted to write, and when I got home, I'd get out a notebook and scribble it all down on paper. But these days I find that I usually have some stupid, simplistic refrain from some song I generally would not listen to if...

    Mileage Reporting 12th Week of 2013

    12th week tscha ... a crummy run, no pics. I had planned on getting over the 40km hump, and maybe stretching it to 50 if I was feeling up to it. Things were actually going well up to about the 22km point, felt strong, had gone up a couple steep climbs. But I did a dumb thing and went off the...

    Mileage Reporting 11th Week of 2013

    week 11 Had a nice easy 25km adventure with my dog. We went up to the 'Magnusturm' (Magnus Tower), a medeival tower sitting atop a 3,000 year old Celtic ringwall. There are many of these 'ring walls' in this area. They're really just huge piles of stone that the Celts built up and then put...

    meh, car accident, got my head sorted out

    GRRRRRR!!!! :mad::mad::mad: Was in an accident this morning and now I'm stuck in a bind. It was the other driver's fault and he luckily admitted 100% guilt (coming from the other direction, he turned left directly in front of me), so I'm safe in that regard. I'm home, not badly injured but I...

    Aaaaaarggghhh! Stubbed Toe - now with pics

    Oh man did that hurt! :-( I was flitting around the house getting dressed for 'work' and slammed my (poor) little toe, left foot, into the steel corner protector on my guitar amp. There's an edge there that caught the nail and ripped it half off. But I was already wearing socks at the time and...

    Some rocks and a dog

    haha, I took this today simply to show in another discussion what the rocks are like here. I didn't even know Leni had gotten into the picture till I got home and looked at it. I just like it, made me smile, thought I'd share :) and THIS is from later on in the run. While I was taking...

    settled for the Vivo Breatho Trail - UPDATE

    Hello ppl, well, after a lot of hemming and hawing, and ordering, trying on and returning various brands/models, I decided to keep the Vivo Breatho Trails. They're pretty big, I thought they'd be too big when I first put them on in the living room, thought I'd be returning them, but the felt...

    NYC Marathon PR Disaster

    Were they insane to begin with? Diverting emergency services and shelter for a bunch of hobby joggahs?!? o_O If you were registered, then just go run your 26.2 on your own, and let them donate the entry fees and prize monies to the people who really need help right now...

    Folic Acid

    Some highlights first: "Folic acid can speed up cancers for the same reason it can prevent neural tube defects—the body uses more folate for rapid cell growth, something shared in the fetus and tumors." "It’s not likely that the U.S. will suspend fortification of processed foods with...

    Weight Watchers -- impressed me

    Hey there, Someone I know started Weight Watchers recently and I havta say, it wasn't what I expected. She uses the online-only version right now and is very happy with it. What really impressed me was that it isn't calorie-based at all. It's the points system, but weighted very heavily...

    Visit to the doctor ... (this is a joke thread, don't be afraid to click it)

    During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine when a retired person should go into a care home?" "Well," he said, "There's a simple test. We fill a bath with warm water, then we give the person a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket, then ask him or her to empty the bathwater."...

    I'm ruined ...

    I'm ruined for shoes, can't run in them at all anymore. Not in my water shoes, not in my huaraches and not in my "Nimble Toes" (brand-name, somewhat beefy, minimal shoes). No matter what I have on my feet now, I get knee pain on the right side, probably what the ITB sufferers are feeling. It...

    ~220Km in 4 days ... the plan (well, loose idea anyway)

    Ok, here's what I'm mulling over, hope I can 'splain in coherently (I just edited to make the distances and times more realistic, lol - who was I kidding???) I want to run along part of the "Fränkischer Gebirgsweg" (don't worry about how to pronounce it, you can't anyway, and it's basically a...

    coconut milk - any good? whaddaya do with it?

    Hey there! I bought a can of coconut milk to try as a basis for food on the go. It's nice and thick and fatty, and tastes like heaven. So, I could get used to the stuff and I'm going to experiment and see what happens. But I figured I'd ask if anyone here has experience with the stuff, and I'd...
