    Can still bench press 135 lbs 20 times. Does absolutely nothing to enhance running.

      Truth Tim. If I can't be superfast, might as well be slower, but look good doing it :-)

      When your butt is as big as mine, you gotta have a double-wide fanny pack.....I can see it now. Coming out fall 2013- The Northface and Dunkin' Donuts have proudly collaborated to bring to you the The Mike Bailey Badonkadonk Collection. Coming to fine retailers near you!

      Just got both (in these colors), and will be using them this weekend. Completely by coincidence I will be wearing a neon green singlet and light blue shorts. My sister would be proud of me for accomplishing such a matching color scheme.

      Well, you'll already know two runners in Fort Collins if you do move there. Plus Marianna, whom I am guessing you are staying with... We actually checked out the GoLite shop while we there recently. Good luck with the interview. Our place is on E. Mulberry near downtown.

      Let me know how those work out for you. I've been using Nathan gear for years and have been pretty happy, but I'm always on the lookout for better stuff. I recently bought a Nathan dual-bottle waistpack that the jury is still out on whether I like it or not. Been a handheld bottle user for a long time, but trying out a hands free system seems good for climbing so I've been giving it a shot!

      Ryan, so far I really like the Jurek stuff. I have been trying to move away from the handbottle, or at least use it less, because I think 7 years of running with one has caused some imbalances in my mechanics that could lead to various overuse injuries. I like the centered weight displacement of the Endure belt, though it only holds two 10 oz bottles. Good for races with aid every 4-5 miles, but probably not what you'd want for something like Massanutten.

      As for the Essential waist belt, I would use it with a handbottle, or possibly even with my Salomon pack. Having stuff easy access at your waist saves a lot more time than taking off a pack and digging around. For me, its come down to comfort, light weight practicality, and using as little extra energy to carry and access what I need during races....because running 100 miles is tiring enough.

      Thanks for your efforts to keep me going yesterday, and then for dedicating your miles to the cause after I was done. That means a lot.

    5 hours of dancing and drinking must account for some mileage. Wrapping up at 3am is also good 100 mile sleep deprivation training.
