It's them legs. I remember Garett when he was a pup - always kickin' up a storm.<BR/><BR/>Eric Graubins<BR/><BR/>PS: Riga 50K in June.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-57771375543232741162007-03-22T11:03:00.000-07:002007-03-22T11:03:00.000-07:00Great race report, thanks!

One of these days soon I will post my own report, but for now I'll just say it was an incredible day!

I enjoy writing it, but 1-2 updates per week is about as much as I can do (it does come second to going for a run, after all). No subscriptions though - I think it's best if it's free for all to peruse. <BR/><BR/>If you keep reading, I'll keep writing, that's the deal. If you have a blog of your own, be sure to point me to it so I can see what you're up to!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-36545061346005232952007-03-21T19:49:00.000-07:002007-03-21T19:49:00.000-07:00I have read many of Garett's articles over the yea...I have read many of Garett's articles over the years. He is a gracious and talented writer, and I'm glad to hear he is continuing to contribute.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like he is no longer at Trail Runner Mag? Where is he these days? Working on the great American running novel?<BR/><BR/>Love the site, Scott. When I get an update on MyYahoo, all things stop until I read your latest entry five times. Of course I wish you would post more often, but then again, would I read so eagerly? You are WAAAY better than Runners World. You could so charge for subscribing to this site. <BR/><BR/>Thank you both, ShirabeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-73312817044843685322007-03-21T14:56:00.000-07:002007-03-21T14:56:00.000-07:00Hi Garrett,great article and a very nice time. My ...Hi Garrett,<BR/><BR/>great article and a very nice time. My 2003 effort was in much cooler temperatures, high of 55 °F vs. 69 °F in 2007. As much as I'd love to improve on that 2003 result, I don't think it is possible to count on being able to enter this race. So, my own quest for a sub-4-hour trail 50 leads elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Vladimir GusiatnikovTundra/Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642296834160120883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-66754062098185096982007-03-21T07:13:00.000-07:002007-03-21T07:13:00.000-07:00Man, I am always amazed at how much you guys can r...Man, I am always amazed at how much you guys can remember about your runs. Did I do too much damage in college :0??? I remember starting, struggling along, and finishing. <BR/>Scott, thanks for making this the best running blog on the web. Garrett, good seeing you my man.
