Whats this, Silicon valley makin ya soft? :) Alaska and Montana women don't let a few trail burns hold ya down!<br /><br />Now that I'm finished sounding like one of my old football coaches.......Keep em clean and I hope you heal fast.<br /><br />Speaking of Beat and his achilles, I've been wearing a metal and foam boot now for 6 weeks. They are trying to keep me FROM having achilles surgery. At least my shoes are only getting worn out on one foot. Only exercise I am getting is wearing slippers on my recumbent bike, watching the TV. Achilles problems are no fun.<br /><br />Again, take care of that road rash!<br /><br />RKRKWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-4374188713893250222011-04-12T22:24:01.578-06:002011-04-12T22:24:01.578-06:00Mtrunner2: I really like the Garmin 310XT.

I used during the White Mountains 100 and had it on the entire time: 18 hours of running time in the cold, and a great record of the track, elevation and speed. I've never had it switch off on its own, although it's so large that I usually wear it over sleeves (I've long since stopped caring about being a geek.) <br /><br />And sorry I haven't put up a new post to bump this disgusting one down. I've been super tender with bruises and road rash ever since Sunday, and I haven't really done anything all that interesting. Soon, hopefully.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-30758918245969501732011-04-12T12:30:09.569-06:002011-04-12T12:30:09.569-06:00I have come so close to doing that many times, but...I have come so close to doing that many times, but so far have been lucky.

Also looks like your Garmin survived OK ;). Lucky cause that model reportedly has a crystal that breaks more easily with impacts than the older model.<br />I'll be running in Big Basin at the end of the month--can't wait!

In my first trail race, I fell twice...both times on the smoothest, flattest portion of the trail...thank goodness, because there were some nasty rocks in other parts! I've also managed to go down hard on the sidewalk twice on early morning runs. Now, if I come to school with any scrapes, my students ask, "Did you fall AGAIN??"Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-30034836768349316212011-04-11T10:36:34.253-06:002011-04-11T10:36:34.253-06:00OUCH!

For that very reason, I wear either weight lifting gloves, or old biking gloves when I run.

But still, one truth in life is that crashing sucks, no matter how it happens. But hey...chicks dig scars. Oooh...wait, never mind. I guess we need to amend that...'Guys dig chicks with scars'...there, how's that? Anyway, glad to hear you're not seriously hurt. <br /><br />And to comment on your prior post, glad to hear you've now tasted the sizzling speed of a true road-machine. I have 2 road bikes to go with my Mt bike (one is a take-apart frame for travel, otherwise there'd be no need for 2 road bikes). I just like riding bikes, no matter the venue. Tho I must admit I PREFER the dirt. But as has been said, road riding in groups can be quite fun AND challenging! <br /><br />And hey...no fair beating up on a guy on a mt bike when you are on a road bike...they are apples n oranges. There's some good rides up your way that will have you sucking wind for sure. On some weekday when u have a few hours to kill, park in Saratoga and climb up hwy 9 to Skyline rd...the descent back into town is full-on super-fun! I took that rd back all the way ino Santa Cruz n back one fine day a few years ago...that was a fun ride for sure! Just don't do it on a weekend...too much traffic, n the motorcycles go up/down that road like maniacs. <br /><br />Keep the rubber side down (and that includes your running shoes).MattChttp://inane-asylum.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-23972241658993942962011-04-11T08:53:11.434-06:002011-04-11T08:53:11.434-06:00I'm so klutzy I had a hiking crash yesterday. ...I'm so klutzy I had a hiking crash yesterday.
