Fantastic report. It reminds me of one of the reasons I love these races...the friendly people. Nobody in an ultra is going run by or not stop for a downed runner...he'll even one that just looks tired. I think Id like to do that race next year....I love that area.
I was just browsing ultrasignup last night. I think I'm going to sign up for the Bootlegger 50k in Boulder City NV in the fall. Only a month after IM Tahoe, but I really want to race on trails. There is another race on the same course in October. . Bootlegger is Nov 9th. I should do both.
Do it!! Finally able to run this weekend after 5 days off because of my knee, still pretty tight and big lump on my knee cap but its definitely feeling better. Gonna try and knock out 50 miles before saturday and then do a 30k on saturday. Oh and those scott's are freaking awesome.

Whats your current routine? Doing any intervals? Or slightly fastet than goal pace runs? 11@ 99 is great. Yourr pretty much there?
Thanks - I'm mostly doing easy runs during the week with one big run Friday nights. Then take it easy over the weekend. Every week I try to run a little longer or a little faster.
Chris - Sounds like good advice. Though I'm scared as hell that I might pull something.

Okay...getting off my "injury high horse" and starting my training for the 10 mile race in October. I've decided that I cannot complete 10 miles in minimalist shoes, so recommendations on trainers please? I cannot run in soft shoes like the Kinvara line, I need something firm but with cushion.
I know Mr. Mom loves the Kwicky Blades...anything else from you all? I'd like to not break the bank if possible. Going to the local running store Friday.

ya the brooks pure line is pretty awesome as far as lightweight but still sort of cushioned shoes go. that reminds me...i need to get a new pair of pure flows for the road. I'll check them out tomorrow. Have they redesigned the shoes? Last time I tried on a pair of Brooks pure line (I believe) it felt like there was a ball under my forefoot. Very uncomfortable feeling.
EDIT: Are they cushioned enough for a marathon? What do you run your Ironman's in Mr. Mom?

I started out using the Brooks PureConnect, I have since been using the Brooks PureConnect 2 and I think they are great shoes. I use them on the road and the pair I'm using now I ran my marathon in along with having probably 200 miles on them now. They're still in great shape and I'd recommend anyone checking them out.

I've yet to put a pair of Blades on. Don't think my local running store has them...might have to head down to the national chain and try them on ![frown \:\(](/images/graemlins/default/frown.gif)
EDIT: What about Newton or Pearl Izumi? I thought you ran in those Mr. Mom.

I went with the Pure Cadence2. Going to start slow with 1-2 mile runs, 3 mins run to 1 min walk. I want to really ease into the tempo of running and hope to stave off any lower leg pain.

The running guy I know at the local store recommended I stick with a single shoe for now until my legs get fit enough to where I can run consistently without any pain/injury/set-back etc. At that point, he said to come back and he will get me into multiple pairs to run/train in etc.
I thought running was easy? Maybe it's a mental thing with me and my fear of injuring my legs again as well as all my knee surgeries etc or I just pushed too fast too quickly earlier this year with my mileage.
I'm really hoping I can run pain free.

Some cool updates in here. Anyone run Mammoth this weekend? My brother spent the day in the ER after over-using his knee. He's fine but not definitely not the venue to be running your first half.

Got the Surf City 5K in a week. Hoping to do a sub-23 but will be happy doing anything under 24:30.
Not sure about everyone else, but when schedules get crazy I just takes kids with me to gym with me. Treadmill isn't my favorite training spot but I guess it could be worse.

They should call the Brooks pureconnect "pureawesome". ive been on them for a month or so and im loving them. i think that cushiony bump in the midfoot helped a ton with some bad heel pain that ive been dealing with for months.

Had a 10k race yesterday morning and decided not to eat/drink prerace as I wanted to see how I'd do running purely on glycogen stores.
My previous PR for a 10k was 57:20 around 8 months ago. Since then I've been running a lot more and ended up with a roughly 50:35, not sure of official time. I am pretty stoked about this, with the right weather/a little more recovery since before my last run I'd be able to sub 50 min a 10k. Lately I've been running 10:30 pace because of the heat so this was a welcome race.
I also just signed up for LA Fitness last weekend and going to start working on strength training, excited to improve my overall fitness.

Congrats guys. Great times and mileage!
Completed the Surf City 5K last Thurs in 23:21. Pretty stoked to beat my previous time by over a minute.
