I also see you're signed up for the Woodside 50k. The first aid station is in my driveway! If my flight gets in on time, I'll try and swing down and cheer you on. If REI won't take the Inov-8 exchange, just let me know and I can get you another pair (scottdunlap at yahoo.com).<BR/><BR/>Squirrel -<BR/><BR/>Damn right about those bee stings!

Glad to know lots of friends in the race, doing their best.<BR/><BR/>I don't run fast and prefer to enjoy the trails. Therefore, I'm thinking about running with a camera even with the impression of "ethnic stereotype." Wonder what camera do you have and recommend?<BR/><BR/>I'm pleased to know you wore Inov-8 315 in this run. I just got a pair of the same shoes. It looks excellent. But, at the same size number, it is smaller than other brands such as Saucony, which I wear for years. I need to figure out how to exchange for one size more.<BR/><BR/>ChihpingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1164848540012973512006-11-29T17:02:00.000-08:002006-11-29T17:02:00.000-08:00...just curious about how many runners out there u......just curious about how many runners out there use a GPS - I am thinking of getting one for tracking distances, mainly?

I'll make sure I get a pic of you on the trail!<BR/><BR/>Ikes -<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by, and congrats on SB9! That's a tough race.<BR/><BR/>I hear you about having trouble finding words to describe a trail run (just look at some of my early entries...actually, don't look, it's too embarassing). It gets easier the more you do, since you recognize more faces and your readers get to know you better. I've found that people like the stories where I screw things up the most (joy!). <BR/><BR/>You'll also notice that the pictures are often in places on the course where one would get tired. Such a convenient excuse to stop and catch my breath! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Very weird about your shoes. You must have tough feet to break down shoes from the inside!<BR/><BR/>Keep it up...hope to see you at one of these races!<BR/><BR/>SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1164695348029083302006-11-27T22:29:00.000-08:002006-11-27T22:29:00.000-08:00Jessica - nice work!

My longest race so far is a 29km trail race but I love to read all the crazy antics of the Ultra runners out there.<BR/>You manage to bring a real "down to earth" feel to all of your race reports which makes for a very enjoyable read. Thanks to you I've found the wonderful zombierunners and the amazing Inov-8's, definitely the best brand of trail runner I've ever used.<BR/>I talked with Santa and he says I stand a good chance of getting a Forerunner 305 for Christmas if I keep up my mileage. Motionbased looks to be an amazing website and concept. Can't wait to start charting my runs.<BR/>So, thanks again for all your work on the blog, I always look forward to your new posts and enjoy reading about all the crazy runners out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1164683918266134072006-11-27T19:18:00.000-08:002006-11-27T19:18:00.000-08:00Scott- GREAT seeing you out there!

In fact, I'm starting to document my runs at www.marintrailruns.com. It's not complete, but you'll can get the gist of it.<BR/><BR/>Again, congrats on the race this weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1164681243694192172006-11-27T18:34:00.000-08:002006-11-27T18:34:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Rick Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136335498532576460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-1164677992611734882006-11-27T17:39:00.000-08:002006-11-27T17:39:00.000-08:00Hi Scott,I saw you smiling and looking fresh all f...Hi Scott,<BR/><BR/>I saw you smiling and looking fresh all four laps, glad you enjoyed the Quad Dipsea.
