And don’t forget Kami Semick for putting herself on top Read More

Next up is the North Face 50, after looking at the most recent entry list, these odds are gonna be good!  Both the men’s and women’s race will be spectacular.  Ain’t it true that money talks and bullshit walks? $10,000 to win, $4000 for second and $1000 for third sums up the reason top competition Read More

First, let’s take a look back at the Appalachian Trail Speed Hike. While I was negotiating the nasty rocks in Pennsylvania, I came upon the Whereskarl RV to refuel.  I can’t remember exactly where in PA, but it was somewhere in the long green tunnel. Billy Simpson was feeding another thru-hiker with some trail magic.  His name Read More

Well, after sitting on my arse for the past two weeks, I finally went for a few short runs….damn it felt good, slightly painful but good. What’s next…who knows, but I’m gonna start runnin’ again, that’s a guarantee. Starting next Monday I’ll post an update for the Speedgoat of the Year award. While I was Read More

My Anterior Tibialas is tweaking. It’s swollen and unrunnable right now. Needless to say, the record will remain in AT’s (Andrew Thompson) hands. My plan now is to pop vitamin P (Prednisone) for a few days and see what happens, along with ice baths a few times a day. I am not quitting yet, vitamin Read More
