I was just busy, and didn’t get to “approving it”. :-)

I”m not really having any spine problems. I have an “aggravated ligament” in the sacrum joint area. I”m ok, it’s getting better. I appreciate your suggestions, but I know time will heal this one. I need a break anyway. I tend to come back stronger, so look for some of that from me this late fall.

I am runner and a nurse from Germany and I read your Blog for some times now. As I heard about your spine-problems, I thought about a therapy the hospital offers where I am working at.
The therapy is called “Pasha-Catheter”. It is an alternative to injections. It is just a pain-therapy, not an operation. This therapy is quite new and succesful.
If you are interested, contact me via e-mail or via my blog.
Greets from Germanyn and keep the spirit!
Philipp

When it sounds like you have pushed the limits as far as they can go, you up and pull off something like running 100 miles with little to no training. Wow! Are you still planning on running the UROC next week? I am training for my first ultra in December, and will be using the 1/2 marathon at UROC as a small training run, because I saw you and Roes would be there. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to run on the same course, but well behind, two of my biggest inspirations. It’s good to see another Deadhead is running ultras!

“Long distance runner what you standing there for?
Get up, get off, get out of the door”

Hope you continue to heal, and hope to see you next week at Wintergreen!
Heath

I was surprised to read this article. You smashed it.
I was also wondering what Hokas you were wearing? You ran through so quickly I only saw they were one of the road versions, but I couldn’t tell if they were a new prototype.

My left side kinda hurts now, but I think that’s just residual crap.
Not really sure if I’ll start the Bear. At this point, I don’t see myself recovering as fast as normal after the stress of running 21 on no training.
Still……”100 miles is not that far”. :-)
