Daily News, Fri, July 11

iRunFar will have great coverage of the race over here. I’ll be glued to it all day. For the record, I’m going for Dakota or Jared. You?

I’m pulling for Dakota. It is essentially his home course if there was one so it would be wonderful to see him win there this year with such a stacked field.

Umm, the CR holder at Hardrock is Kyle, not Erik.

That interview made me flash-back to when he and Tony were basically living out of a truck, dominating races and living the dream.

I frequent the store that Ricky Flynn worked at and he was pretty helpful most of the time. You should read what letsrun.com has to say about him. Haha!

I have definitely run to work before: approx 11 mile trip from home to office. I am lucky enough to have a shower to use at my job.

Once or twice I have done a ‘triple’ where I ran to work, ran four hours later with my lunchtime group, and then run home that evening. So not bad to get in about 27 miles on a regular work weekday lol.

    Thank you so much Eric for sharing. I have been seeing a guy in the mornings and afternoons for the last couple of years while I am cycling to and from BART and wondered the feasibility of doing this. I have been actually considering running a couple of times a week, being between 8 to 10 miles away each way and this would help.
    
    BTW, does anyone throw their laptop in their pack? If so, what is the size of pack recommended.

  I love my 10 mile run to work as well, where thankfully we have a fantastic locker room with showers. Plus I have some extra storage in my cube for extra clothes.
  Most of the time I do take public transit the way home, but sometimes I will run as well.
  That triple sounds great though, I may have to try that sometime with a lunch run.

I’ve been doing a 14 mile round trip commute with showers for about 12 years now. Not every day by a long shot but the days that I bike I bring clothes to work. After a day of groundskeeping the run home in the summer is absolutely brutal. Some might call them junk miles but I call them, I don’t know, late mile ultra simulations. As for Crossfit, my wife has been doing it without injury except for a sore lower back for almost 4 years and it has changed her life. She’s a monster with an incredible body and , I don’t even know how to express it, an amazing amount of confidence and determination that she got from her local BOX.
