great MTB - Sugarbottom 8 mi 01:00 8.0mph pace
I used to bike these trails a lot, but gave them up while I was pursuing Boston as I've ended up in the ER mountain biking more times than I care to count. I'm far less skilled and brave... read more

I have tons of shoes. Just ask Ross. Problem is they are all mostly clearance shoes or thrift store, yard sale shoes. I must admit my favorite soccer shoes have always come from yard sales, but clearance sale running shoes are not always the best idea.

It seems to me they will have to give in and put the boost in more of a lower drop shoe.

good Maffitt Reservoir 6.5 mi 01:02 09:32 pace
Well after Sunday's blow up, this run went amazingly well. Its a bit of a production to get out to Maffitt but I had some extra time this evening so I thought if the run is going to suck, it ... read more

Garmin 910XT - anyone have one and what do you think of if it? I'm thinking of upgrading. I'm looking for long battery life and something that would work well with simming and biking. I... read more

Not sure if you saw the comment on my post where you asked this, but the short version is that I really, really like it for the swimming, but the course tracking blows and the run pacing is erratic. I think there is something funky going on with the GPS and it's reception - the 305 was much more stable in both respects, so I know Garmin is capable of writing the required software. Run pacing is actually easy to deal with - after a while, you just get used to averaging what it is saying in your head.

Other than those two issues - standard Garmin.

hey thanks Ryan! Do you have it set to one mile averaging/splits or is it doing this on real time pacing?

good Beer Core 00:40
Much too busy of a morning so this had to wait until this evening. I like coffee core better although the beer wasn't too bad.

Maybe I should start a class! Funny thing is I am actually teaching a core conditioning class next fall, although I don't think the beer thing will sit too well with the dean.....

blah disaster "long" run 10.93 mi 01:58 10:45 pace
Well, I guess I was due a disaster. I tried some new "intermediate" inserts (superfeet) thinking this would help me step down from the orthotics and it was just terrible. I've used ... read more

I've put a new blog post up. I'd love to get opinions on my next adventure. http://runtopia.blogspot.com/2013/05/help-me-choose-my-50-miler.html
1 person liked what Julia said-
I think it is awesome that you are planning this! As of this minute I am planning to do one when I turn 50 in two years. I think all of your choices are good ones. If you forced me to pick, I would choose Surf the Murph but Des Plaines may be a close 2nd. And I saw this link yesterday. Good tips.

Coffee core 00:40
Nice morning. Did this out on the patio. 1min each side on the side plank. Adv. bird dog was tough. Time to get stuff put back together. Followed up with a lot of calf work. Stretch roll etc.

My shoulders are the rate limiting step in my plank as well Christine.
