So I’m gonna go run Zane Grey this weekend.   Looks to be a steamer, somewhere around 90 degrees.   There’s nothing like traversing below the Mogollon Rim near Payson, AZ.  No trail or race, that I can speak of, is any more technical than this one.  It is pure ugliness.  Just the way I like it.  Hopefully this year I won’t  come home with a broken arm.  No other race is quite like this one. 1.  Joe Grant,  Phenomenal technical runner, he should run away.  Hopefully he won’t run the wrong way, Zane Grey….everyone gets a little lost.  2.  Speedgoat,  It’s the best possible course for me being so technical, I’m pretty sure I can run 8:30 ish if my foot doesn’t blow a gasket, but that’s another story. It might stop me in my tracks at mile 8,we’ll see.  3.  Catlow Shipek,  I’ve heard alot about him, now’s [...]

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 P sometimes has an incredible affect on inflammation, and I will continue if it comes around….quitting this early is not an option. Thanks for all the support and cross your fingers, cuz’ it ain’t over yet. Please refer back to whereskarl.com for any future comments, all info will now be at that site. This one is now MOOT, like the itinerary!
