I meant vets sorry not vet. Should be I'm sure he'd put the Fear of God into any other vets who would have the misfortune to come up against him. 

You chaps are in awesome shape. Francis seems frightengly fast. I'm sure he'd put the "Fear of God" into any other vet who would have the misfortune to come up against him. 

not yet, but i'm sure he would place well......

yes, my dog cody! he runs with me almost every day. he also loves to swim...if you look closely at the photo you may notice his wet paw prints leading out of the fountain behind him.....

 

thanks jurgen! ok, done. enjoy Hong Kong!

I just checked the Oxfam dates, which seem to be May 13-15. Unfortunately I'll be doing the Yatsugatake Nobeyama Kougen 100km on the 15th, and since that has a time limit of 14 hours I'm not sure that I'm up for doing them back-to-back.

 

There aren't that many ultras in Japan to begin with, it's beyond comprehension that the event coordinators would double book two of them!

 

Hope you're enjoying Hong Kong!

Fancy doing Gyeongju 10k on April 9? Cherry Blossom Festival.

Abraham Kissos will be running the marathon. He should win it. His best time is 2:25. He then intends to run the 10k race the following day at the Daegu Marathon Festival.

Maybe you could do both!! Race in your T6 flats at Gyeongju and the Green Silence's at Daegu.

So if you fancy doing either or both events email me and I'll register you.

I'm thinking about it. I think you all will be much more advanced than I am. Is it OK to join as a beginner?

Thank you for the nice welcome! I'm glad to be here and look forward to seeing people either at races or training runs.

Yeah Petr enjoyed it a lot. He thinks himself as more of a "short-distance" runner :)

Hi, Juergen!

Thanks for the warm welcome! You've got a great site here! Lots of friendly members. I'll post a profile picture as soon as I find one. I don't have many of myself around.

Thanks for the welcome. Seems it was just a problem with cookies.

See you soon

Hi Jeurgen, just added a photo. I am a long time resident in Japan but have only recently got back into running. Consider me a newbie.

It seems most events require 2-3 months advance registration. Is there a summary table out there with event, location and registration cut off date? I can see a strong need to be very organized to participate. Regards, ppl

Hey Juergen, thanks for the messages! No, no, no and no, I did not run Badwater (yet) but I would be totally wishing to do it one day...Good training..until then! ;-)

I'm hoping to be there some time between Feb and May. Haven't decided exactly when yet.

Thanks for letting me know about the Wednesday training sessions. Unfortunately, I work until 21.30 so can't make them. But up for any Sunday and Monday runs as they are my free days. Hopefully see some of you soon.

continued -> Doing small, daily stretches related to the hip and the yoga pose pigeon posed have been very helpfull and with noticeable results. I have been going to an osteopah doctor that practices with athletes. He is good but I starting to think that I need to "cure the cause".

Long story, short. There's seems to be a bio-mechanical issue on my right hip. More specifically, the small muscle that keeps the hip centered. It seems to be "stressed" and it pulls in too much. As a consequence when I step on the ground, the right foot doesn't land well, causing swelling on my right foor big toe. The funny thing is that his discomfort happens regardless if I run 10 miles or if I am walking around. Standing for long periods of time (like what I did Monday and Tuesday) doesn't help. While running longer distances, just a little bit f awareness helps me focus to land my foot properly. (cont->)
