Interesting: This guy ran Badwater in 2009 and is still feeling effects from it. h/t to Nicole W.

Dominic Grossman and Angela Shartel picked up wins at a hot Angeles Crest 100 on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Hal Koerner and Mike Wolfe broke the John Muir Trail FKT with a time of 3 days, 12 hours, and 41 minutes for the 210 mile journey.

The 25 best craft breweries in America. Sorry list, Sam Adams is not a craft beer and should not be on there. Where does yours fit in?

Pam Smith’s WS story. We interviewed her recently and will be posting it soon after we get past some tech difficulties. It’s worth the wait.

Go outside for a week and it’ll reset your biological clock. Uh oh, does that mean my wife is going to want more kids?

Ladies: Embarassing workout issues no one talks about. Huh? Maybe it’s the gals I run with, but they’d have no problems talking about any of these and would certainly not be caught dead talking about makeup on a run.

Here’s a mountain marathon in Vietnam that I’d love to do in October.

This guy ran 423 miles across Iowa while everyone else did it on a bike.

Don’t let the fact that Pete ran across Iowa fool you. Iowa may not have mountains like other states, but there are some really good hills hills along the route that he ran. Nice to see an Iowa boy make the URP news!!!

According to the brewers association Sam Adam’s was still a craft brewery as of 2012. (Not sure what their status is as of 2013) The definition of Craft Breweries has gotten more convoluted over the years however as long as they are sticking to what they have traditionally done and have not exceeded 6 million barrels annually (And haven’t sold more than 25% of their business to some big liquor firm) then they are still a craft brewery. Now their inclusion in the list of the top 25 craft breweries in the united states? That’s a stretch…I think they were probably there once when there weren’t a lot of breweries…but you could probably name 25 in the state of washington that are tastier…let alone the entire country.

That ’embarrasing work out issues’ link cracked me up. Who are these women that are 1) wearing underwear (instead of running shorts w/ liner) and makeup while working out and 2) giving enough of a crap about either that an article gets written about it? I’ll be sweating in the woods and jumping over snakes if any of them want to join me. 😉

If you want to run a mountain marathon in Vietnam, make sure the race organizers have cleared the course of mines and un-exploded ordinance from the war.

Chris, mines are no longer a problem in this region. The main problem are the annoying crowds of Hmong women trying to sell you some stuff. I was hiking in the Sapa mountains two years ago, and these women were really getting on my nerves.

How is Hal and Mike’s JMT time a record? Brett Maune’s unsupported time of 3d9h58m from Whitney summit to finish is over 2.5 hours better.

Tom – Hal and Mike’s time from Whitney Summit was 3 days, 9 hours, and 5 minutes. That distance is 210 miles.

The time that Eric posted of 3 days, 12 hours, and 41 minutes is from Whitney Portals, which is an additional 13 miles (223 miles).

  Thanks. Further evidence that Brett’s unsupported time is incredible. Two top ultra runners with support and working in concert only beat his unsupported summit to finish time by 53 minutes.
