This just seems to be an embarrassment to the medical profession. How do you miss a knee ligament for the last 100 years or so?

Well, if you are doing the "Fun Run" I don't think you need to train too hard for it!

A long read but interesting.

I've seen her "home movie" and she can most definitely handle things that are hard and long.

...and Bob's yer Uncle!

Well done! Be proud of finishing a 50M race! Very impressive!

I find it ironic that you are going to Running Free to buy a running bra.

I am looking for a shoe that will take orthotics and last through some decent mileage. I have just gotten the orthotics and have no clue. Most shoes will take orthotics. It's best to get a shoe where the sole insert just pulls out rather than the ones that are glued in. Some brands, by their nature...

I don't think Diana Nyad swam from Cuba to Florida because it had sharks and box jellyfish. She swam it because of the challenge to her. The sharks and jellyfish were a byproduct that I'm sure she would have loved to not have had to deal with. RE: protective gear: I wear a helmet when I bike to pro...

Nuts! I was hoping you were kidding!

They could buy a couple of Go-Pros and post them at the entrance/exit. Even fake cameras with a big sign saying the area is monitored by camera should do the trick.

I saw she was trying this again and really watched her alot closer the last 24 hours. I had never heard of those box jellyfish until I read her blog on Saturday. Boy, those are nasty jellyfish and they will chase you down to sting you.

Well done to Diana! That's quite an accomplishment!

I did get an over the counter orthodic from Solefit, the Orange Superfeet. I'm trying my best to get used to it, but can't say I'm loving it by no means. How long was your first run with the over the counter orthodic? Just like a designed orthodic you don't just put it in and run 30k. You have to l...

I don't have a hoo-ha, but I do have hairy nether regions, and can be prone to the same thing. Second the suggestion to soak it. I also cover angry little outbursts with moleskin to protect against chafing, and covering somehow seems to make them less angry. Finally, I make sure to keep it super-cl...

Sounds like fun until the race actually starts.

Is anyone else as surprised as I am that drghfx hasn't commented on this thread yet? When the originator of the thread is a new maniac, I think we have a tacit understanding to keep the crazy under a blanket for a while. Yeah, it is a bit of a surprise insn't it? I think they took the Bounce-O-Mete...

Wrote a little about the race in my journal but thought I would put in a more pure "race" report here. With a home move and a new yard and work and ... I was not even trained to run a decent 10 K road race, never mind a 12 K trail race so a couple of weeks ago changed from Enduro to Sport...

I don't think you can really apply any aerobic/anaerobic analysis or whatnot based on whole populations of elite runners... not where Bolt is concerned. Farah is the man of the hour (but not nearly the greatest that ever was at his disciplines), but Bolt is by himself in uncharted territory of huma...

I'm hoping that the emptiness will encourage more people to post routes. :P We could do by region if they stay too empty, but I want to try it like this for now. I haven't conferred with the mods on this yet, but I'm hoping they'll help out with reminding people about uniform subject lines and keep...

We should have a complete section on running bras with photos, videos, before and after pictures etc. -10 beers :twisted: :twisted: It's OK, I got you covered man. +10 beers. :wink: that still leaves him at 0. :lol: At least he's out of the hole! :lol: Thanks Darth! You're much nicer than that mean...

Hey, I'm just trying to get the hits up!

ETA: Dang that spellcheck! It changed my word into hits.
