Wow that's insane. Stressed out just looking at the map. ![laugh1](/images/graemlins/default/laugh1.gif)
Scored another personal best today at the LA Rock n Roll Half. ~1:55:20.

Awesome job Kent. That's a PR by almost 5 minutes, right?
Thanks man. Yeah just under 4 minute improvement over LB. Funny thing is that Runkeeper told me I ran 13.45 miles. So maybe some room for improvement at HB in February.

Survived! I think the loops are closer to 9.6 miles so let's say 19.2 miles in 3:04 - first loop in 1:24. So the day after a 6 hour effort up to 10,300' and back I still managed to run 8:49 for ~10 miles with rollers at 7,200' - and felt OK after it. Confidence boost indeed!

He'll yeah, that's good block of training for sure! I just knocked out 12 on the road this evening to cap off my biggest mileage week ever of 63 miles. ![headbang](/images/graemlins/default/headbang.gif) 32 of those were on the trails too, so like you, it's a great confidence booster for these upcoming races.
Nice!! It's going to be a good fall for the CSi running crew

Back running after taking last week off, nothing crazy but hope to get a couple long runs this weekend and get 50+ and then get 70+ for a couple weeks before I taper for quad dipsea. I must say, my legs have not felt this fresh since january. ![laugh1](/images/graemlins/default/laugh1.gif) Usually my first mile or so of my early morning runs are me just trying to get my body to cooperate. ![laugh1](/images/graemlins/default/laugh1.gif) This week my legs felt super light and quick right out of the gate! Probably wont last long but I am enjoying it for now.
I'm looking forward to that!
Yesterday was a big weekend for me and I just did easy 30 minute jogs on Monday and Tuesday. Last night was the last group run of the season so that was around 50 minutes and 500' of climbing and my legs felt beat. The whole time. Never freshened up.
I'm trying a gradual taper of the next three weeks and historically I've flat out sucked at this part of the sport. I'm hoping I can make it work this time and finally feel fresh for a race though. Fingers crossed!
You guys have any taper advice? I'm thinking easy 30 minute runs during the week and gradually shorter weekend runs (2/2 hours this weekend, maybe 1.5/1.5 and 1/1 after that). My fast buddy (Matt) suggests strides over the next couple weeks, keep things sharp and all that!

Runners shouldn't be bragging about their most recent purchases... save that for the gear-obsessed cyclists or joggers. Get our and run you pussies.

chris, how you like the handheld? I've been thinking of going for one. I've got a 2 10oz waist thing from nathan. It's fine for sub 2 hours, but i'm thinking I'll want to up my game soon and start doing 15-20 on trail. At my liesurely trail pace I'll need more.
basically, you guys should help me get outfitted for serious trail runs. If we're going to gear-geek, show me what you run with on a 20 mile trail training run.

Weird - looks like the vest I have but with bright red pockets instead of my black/white. Maybe it was a mini-update or something, I really don't follow gear stuff until I need something. And ![laugh1](/images/graemlins/default/laugh1.gif) at Laffy Taffy What gels have you tried?? I used to take Gu and didn't really like them at all (other than Peanut Butter) and just assumed "eh, gels just suck. whatever". But it turns out Hammer Apple Cinnamon and Hammer Raspberry are both tasty as shit! And the whole Hammer lineup seems to go down much easier than other brands. Might be worth a shot! I've also found they go down much easier if they're really warm and thus more liquid. The apple cinnamon flavor tastes like delicious, delicious pie filling if you get it warm enough EDIT: oops, forgot Hammer's Montana Huckleberry! That's good too but I get tired of it faster than Apple.
Nah man..its the texture that just turns me off. I've tried and tried and it just doesn't work.
