I hop...Thanks again for the b-day wishes, everyone! <BR/><BR/>I hope the BQ stuff doesn't sound too braggy - it just so happens that a BQ time is usually just out of/within reach for me. It wasn't that long ago that sub-4 hours was a big deal, so I understand that any arbitrary time goal that is just out of reach is a great motivator. When you have to dig deep in that last mile, you'll find you have more courage than you imagine!<BR/><BR/>I have pinged a few ultra runners about taping techniques, and we'll do a write up on it where everyone can share their lessons learned.<BR/><BR/>And thank you Samba Dancer for braving the fog for us!<BR/><BR/>SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-68313656553673495552007-05-03T13:55:00.000-07:002007-05-03T13:55:00.000-07:00Happy belated birthday!!!

I love that you were able to go from planning an "easy" 3:30 (not too many people can call that pace easy!!) to ending up with another BQ on a relatively challenging course. Glad you had such a great birthday weekend. The picture at the end with your little ones is great :)Adelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256451142660464796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-453956711388848302007-05-03T11:11:00.000-07:002007-05-03T11:11:00.000-07:00Dean Karnazes is a normal runner.

We hope that you will come back and run Big Sur again. The BSIM race director sent me your site and told me that I'd find my picture there. What fun!! I was the one covered with feathers and sequins. I have been dancing at the Big Sur Marathon for 18 years. It is great fun but a workout even for those of us who do not run it. You have a fantastic attitude.

Injinjis + 2nd pair over that have been all I've needed so far. My first 50M is in a few days.<BR/>Not sure I need or want to tape my feet, but I'm training for the Leadville 100 this August, so I guess it would pay to at least check it out.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm 47. I don't want you in my age-group, dude - you're too fast!
