I’d be interested to see the final results of this study.

It was 105 in Sacramento yesterday, and the rest of the country is experiencing some crazy heat, too.  Turn the dial up another dozen degrees, then you’ve got some idea how crazy Badwater is.

Here’s some video footage of Leor Pantilat and Gary Gellin’s awesome Lost Coast run. Wow!  And here’s a video and trail(?) pics of Leor’s recent jaunt into the High Sierra.

Here’s a new Apple app that syncs all your running related podcasts.  It’s free, but reviews seem sketchy.
