Good question eh? Once again, I’ve fallen off the radar a bit, running around trying to stay ahead of the game. I always seem to be so far behind…However, today, I am ahead. I was able to run pain free for a whopping 8 miles. After completing the Moab 55k a few weeks back, I had a hard time recovering from a lingering minor calf strain. It is no longer lingering and I am finally back at it. I’ve been travelling alot in support of the Wings for Life World Run, a global event for spinal cord injury research. This “charity run” will happen in 3 locations in the US, and 34 other locations on 5 other continents. Hit that link and check it out. I’ll be running in Denver if you’d like to come join me for a great cause. I’ve been golfing to stay sane, with all […]
It has been quite some time now, since I’ve done any sort of race predictions/odds. It is about time I step up and take a crack at “guessing” who will take home the $10,000 at this ridiculously stacked race. Both the men’s and women’s field should be close all the way back to Ft. Barry in the Marin Headlands on Dec 7. So….it’s off to the races for me as I hope to NOT get chicked once again. Last time Anna got me, this time….we shall see. So here it goes, Ladies first: 1. Emelie Forsberg 3-2. Emelie has proven her dominance at distances up to 100k. Her win at UROC showed she could hang long enough. As long as she has still been running and not skiing entirely, I think she’ll win by 10 minutes, chick me, and go sub 7. 2. Stephanie Howe 3-1. Why not […]
Check it out folks, the Wings for Life World Run is coming in May. What is this? Think about a race that happens globally in 38 locations on 6 continents! Everyone starts at the same time. Some at 7am, some at 10pm all around the world. The real catch is the “catcher car”. The gun goes off, the “catcher car” gives us a half hour head start. Once the car catches you…you’re out. Who wins? Spinal Cord Research. 100% of proceeds go directly to Spinal Cord Research. Join me in Denver on May 4 at 4am. See how long you last! How about that two posts in two weeks from Speedgoat Karl. Check out my Speedgoat odds, coming on Monday morning. The race: The North Face 50 on December 7th. I’ll be handicapping the top 20 men and women. The field is super stacked and competitive for the $10,000 […]
