That Damn Run trail run is filling up. Looks like a fun time, and put on by a good guy. I’ll be there.

Once again, Leor Pantilat and Gary Gellin go on a 50 mile sojourn up California’s “Lost Coast.”  Check out those pics!  Uninhabited (except for growers), cool weather, great trails, and great beer.

Buzz Burrell on Hardrock.

…and a cool video on the race.

…and finally, footfeathers drops a race preview and handicaps Hardrock. Have fun everyone!

Someone (else) has a crush on Catra! You’ve heard our podcast with her, right?

The US Mountain Running Team is experiencing a bit of a shakeup.  Now that Max King’s schedule is open, maybe he’ll do more ultras. Please?

If you’ve got the time and money, Mr. Roes has some space available for you in Alaska.

Sarah Lavender Smith reviews Eat and Run.  I agree with nearly 100% of the review, especially regarding the first chapter.

TdF leader Bradley Wiggins elucidates his feelings on doping accusations: “I say they’re just fu**ing wankers,” Wiggins said. “I cannot be doing with people like that. It justifies their own bone idleness because they can’t imagine applying themselves to do anything in their lives. It’s easy for them to sit under a pseudonym on Twitter and write that sort of s*it,” Wiggins added, “rather than get off their own arses in their own lives and apply themselves and work hard at something and achieve something. And that’s ultimately what counts. C**ts.”
