You're point about embracing the "lows" in a run, really caught my attention. :)<br /><br />Have a great run at WS, and enjoy, enjoy!!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775228546118366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-985306583079372742011-06-22T05:01:49.534-08:002011-06-22T05:01:49.534-08:00Man, you wrote what I've been feeling these pa...Man, you wrote what I've been feeling these past couple of yrs-I used to drive myself crazy with racing/training. I raced the past couple of yrs but was always feeling flat and burned out-I just couldn't get my MoJo going for another "fast" 10K. I stepped away and just ran and returned to my meandering ways of yrs ago and fell back in love with the act of running and the feeling of exploring. I do compete once in awhile, but recently this past yr I discovered Ultras! I love them and I love the simple approach to training for them-I just run and run! No speed work and I get to spend a ton of time on the trails, just traipsing along enjoying the experience. This feeling of "letting go" has filtered down into other areas of my life, I love it! Doing a 50K on 2 July-when the gun goes off, I'll be all bussiness, but I can't wait to get back to my roots of just running on the trails and enjoying nature and the fellowship of my running buddies. Best wishes for the weekend-you rock, Geoff!Tarzan Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197263774983097075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-7700355185081317522011-06-21T19:56:26.329-08:002011-06-21T19:56:26.329-08:00Running in the Alaska backcountry I'm sure is ...Running in the Alaska backcountry I'm sure is like a powerful drug.

That is such a great approach to life. The funny thing about this training approach is that I bet you are going to kill it at Western States because you will be focused on that run on that day. Enjoy your next run, and kick some ass at Western. My money is on you!Gary Valehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033686914804270982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-11431865741285271132011-06-20T11:09:17.368-08:002011-06-20T11:09:17.368-08:00Right on.Right on.Laura Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391103148916021415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-9414174436526704592011-06-20T07:11:23.842-08:002011-06-20T07:11:23.842-08:00Completely agree with you.

On www.runningmeditation.com I explore some of these same themes, but not with the experience you bring to your writings.

I'm fourteen and plan on doing a 50k that is easy to drop out of if my body tells me to stop. I don't know what your schedule for this year is or if money is an issue but you should come to this 31 mile fun run. If this race interests you it is called the Wildcat 50k it is on November 25th you don't need to register ( you may want to bring money to donate) and it is between Muscatine IA and Bettendorf IA ( wildcat den state park).<br />For more info go to www.cornbelt.org<br /> Thanks for reading <br /> Eli <br />P.S. if you do come it would really boost this race's participation level and it is not in a corn field.Eli Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847253102759004039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-74135908057359022832011-06-19T16:58:39.429-08:002011-06-19T16:58:39.429-08:00'sigh' juneau ridge - wish i were there! ...'sigh' juneau ridge - wish i were there! i miss your trails !!<br /><br />have a great time at western geoff!slowrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616340191789422953noreply@blogger.com
