Postscript. Here's the kid, sitting at my desk, looking at this post
The funniest part to him is the tagline under my name (retard)

the most fun part of this strategy is maintaining the running streak
(i suppose i'll run faster)

ahoy!
god damn I haven't used either of those names in forever

since mid 2016 less than 1% (no regular access to a treadmill)
before that maybe one run in three was on a treadmill

my average daily 4.4 miles but there are plenty of 1 and 2 mile runs in there.

oh I'm long past the point where running helps with weight loss
and i never had the delusion that running ultras is healthy
i run for fun

eating is out of control

hola!
yes, still running ultras
running streak is approaching 3600 days
still trying to lose weight
all good!
the kid in my avatar is now a junior in high school

how are you?

Hope everyone is doing well

Here's a pic of the 17-40.

This flicker set has a bunch more photos of the lens plus sample pics taken with it over the years....

$500 EF 200MM f2.8L. This is not the "II". This lens is about 20 years old, and has served me faithfully.
same as this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ef/Canon-200mm_MG_1077.JPG

did you buy your 17-40 4.0L yet? I might have one for sale.

I know, right? Add that to my list of lame excuses.

They did actually seem to head off in a direction where there were no trails.. maybe to go OB? (this was at the summit, not in a lift line)

this one is really shocking.. I didn't realize he had drug issues.

I have. DNF'd though (missed the cutoff.)
I mean - it's the Marin Headlands. With beer at the finish. How can you go wrong?

Hi everyone, it's been a while.

This message is for the group of three mags at belleayre yesterday who asked if I've "got change", and I acted like a complete f'ing dolt and said no.
Sorry man....

No way, really? That's way cool of you. Sorry if you felt like I diss'd you..

Mike Morton. That guy is unbelievable.

Umstead has 12.5-mile loops. He lapped me for the first time when I was at about 14 miles, a little under 3 hours. He had just run a marathon. And he didn't...

Did I? Sorry. I don't remember much from RR100.. except that I was way in over my head...

I'd like to go to WS100 one year. 2012 is out, though - maybe 2013. Hell, now that I'm eligible for the...

Hi everyone. Took me a few years longer than expected, but...

After DNFs in 2009, 2010 and 2011, I finally finished one of these fuckers last month in 28:39:22.

Amazon, sometimes. The product may or may not be $10-$50 cheaper, but you can at least save the sales tax if you're from the right state.

The company you work for might also have a discount set...

Yeah, I've kind of been a stranger around these parts lately. Sorry about that.

In Suffern, there's a shiny layer of ice on top of everything, which you would step through into soft and fluffy.. if other kids have made lots of tracks, then it would be good, but I wouldn't want...

wow. this thread is a blast from the past if I've ever seen one.

For those of you who haven't noticed, it was originally posted in 2007.

1000th reply. (1001st post in this thread.)

Obligatory running content: I just signed up for the Across The Years 72-hour race in Arizona this winter....

that TR actually would be kind of epic..

consider:

it would be a poach, since it doesn't open for at least 3 years.

and, of course, no snow.

but yeah - weird to see my 3-year-old post, too.

driving by on the turnpike, the thing has looked completed for a year now. i wonder what's holding them up? knowing NJ, probably not enough grease...

Way to go! A trail 50K (especially around Santa Cruz) isn't easy, but it must have been incredible! I love seeing videos of people running trails around the bay area - they really make me envious....

Any volunteers to run the thing?

i guess it doesn't matter so much if there's no money involved.. which seems to be the consensus..

Definitely. California was almost completely flat. It could have potentially been hot & dry - it's sometimes like that there in April - but not this year.

When I say difficulty, I meant obstacles..

I did it last weekend in California.

It was fun.. but not crazy. See my blog for the race report:

The rules in the past were pretty simple: Whoever loses the most weight, in terms of percentage, wins. We did three months, as I recall. Also, everything was on the honor system. It seemed to work...

let's take a cup of hot water, and add an espresso to it.


surprisingly enough, it tastes like watered down espresso. imagine that.

Well, since somebody bumped this thread, I'll give an update as to what's going on with me.

yeah, wide angle glass is a lot of fun. I bought a 17-40mmF4L a few months ago and have been hooked on it ever since.

Not sure about the sigma or tokina.. never really considered non-canon lenses..

They should allow mtn biking at Harriman. Hikers seem to think that trails are only for them, and they should only be for walking. They wouldn't even allow running on trails if they had their way...

I didn't do it when Joey was young enough, but wish I had.
He would have loved it.

Regarding safety, I'm not talking about going lightning-fast down diamonds, though he would have loved that too....

yeah, don't expect google maps to have hiking trails; not even the AT. I'm sure you already know this, but the best trail maps for this area are sold by the NY/NJ trail conference - you can buy them...

Harriman State Park in Idaho? I drove through that once.. and live about 400 yards from Harriman State Park in New York. Got a chuckle out of that one. Traveled 2000 miles to go to Harriman..

one of us (probably me) is wrong about recognizing that line then.. the line I see is nowhere near the AT, but close to Suffern.

didja have to re-up your contract for two years?

I recognize that harriman line. well done.

I'll bet the trees on bear mountain (where they're re-routing the AT to) are awesome right now. I was checking it out a little last Tuesday before the...

don't take it personally, i have to side with danno. perhaps if his request was unreasonable, you'd have a better point.. But asking for SFW ads seems really reasonable to me.

I didn't read the rest of the thread (4 pages, wow), but what's interesting about this response is that you're accepting money from an Oakley, then you're telling people they're targeting to block...
