for those who are running competitively this fall, what races are we most excited about? i am at lehigh now, and the best race we have on the schedule this year is a 10k at arkansas university, on october 14th, my birthday, known as the chili pepper invite i know the bald guy is running the chicago marathon, and currently training like a rabid animal on the canals of cumberland- anyone got any good things coming up? GAR? HS XC meets? i was always a fan of xc in western maryland come october, especially at southern and frankfort DAN  |

I have the Gary Brown 5-miler next weekend, but that is not really fall. I will run the Charleston Distance Run (15 miles) on Sept. 2nd and then Chicago on October 22nd.
Thanks for calling me bald and a rabid animal, but I would assume that most animals have a ton of hair, therefore I think you should come up with a better comparison.

perhaps you could be one of those cats like in austin powers that has no hair- i would definitely be afraid of it-
in case you are too dense to notice, i was trying to pay you a compliment by commending the way in which you train, but if you took it as an insult, i would just say something along the lines of, you better find some way to monitor your progress or your heart will reach too great of a rate and you will die
i dont know- today we did 12 miles and i bonked very badly- lets hope the rest of this week is not like today
good luck with the fall schedule

I second that great work comment for Jaron.
Dan, it always took me a week or 2 to get back used to the fast group pace once back at school.
As for the Fall, I'm not sure yet. I was on a path to run some 50k's on the trails, but my back has put me out of commision for the past couple weeks. It may push my race plans until late Fall now, no worries though most of the good races are in the late fall-winter down here anyway.

Justin, I had no idea that you were hooked on the long stuff. Dan told me that you did an insane trail marathon not too long ago. From what he told me, it was a killer course. I don't think I could ever do that stuff - my body shuts down at around 24 miles or so, as it did today. I was able to come close to the marathon distance, but I know after today that a marathon is a hard thing no matter what pace you run it at.

That trail marathon really gave me respect for the distance. The marathon is no joke. It was an incredibly hard course and very hot, 95 degrees.
I have gotten hooked on the long trail runs. I have always done a lot of my training on the trails, but the whole trail race world was an unknown. I think the thing that I liked about it was that it is a whole different challenge. Now that I am away from serious speed training for a while everytime I would go do a road race "just for fun" I would come away unfulfilled and somewhat disappointed. Most of these crazy trail races are somewhat a challenge of survival and finishing is something to be fulfilled with. I'm still somewhat new to it, so I still have a lot to learn. I have gotten my long run up to over 4 hours, you'd be surprised what you can do.

justin- the idea of 4 hour trail runs is absurd to me- i am completely zonked after 90 minutes up here- training is going well- i am more sore than i have ever been, but it is the good kind and i love it.....i will try to write you an email sometime soon, camp is nothing but running and eating but i get into zombie-like states and zone out sometimes, as i am sure you have before too
hooray for the bald guy and buena suerte en su carrera este sabado

Dan,
Jimmy K. informed me that Mr. Bonnette ran 10:04 to win his time trial on Sunday. I think that he is in great shape and finally has his confidence back. I hope he is ready to kick some butt this fall.
Me duele las piernas despues mi carrera larga este domingo pero me duele recto mas porque tengo diarrea.

Yes Jaron i did run 10:04 in the 3200 time trial. Its was alright. Ran 5:00 then 5:04 for the mile splits and every 800 split was 230 except for the 3 which was 234. Things are going well here. Today i did 9 in 55 with Ricky on the hills of west virginia...
I should hit 60 miles this week. With increases by 5 miles there after.
Ill keep you informed. Hows your training going bald guy?

Glad to here that the time trial went well. It was better than Marc's 11:46 or whatever he ran. Sounds like Ricky is going to get your butt in shape. Just remember to have some quality rest days in there.
Training is going great except for being sore the last 3 days, but I should be fine by my race this weekend. I took a look at your schedule and I don't think that I will get to see you run this fall. I would like to, but things will be busy with the marathon and Jackie coaching volleyball. Your conference meet is the same weekend as Chicago - I hope we both do well!!!

Thanks for the schedule Scott. What I meant was what school are you running for?
Good luck, and keep up the good work. Each time I've seen you run you look smooth, light on your feet, a great stride. You have a ton of potential.
