Dan owes Steve-O a beer for his accomplishment in Man vs. Horse and haven't had a chance to do this yet. This is the plan...We will start at 5:30 on Tuesday at PBC and go from there. Everyone is welcome so please consider joining us! Dan Note: Dan why would you congratulate Steve for doing something as stupid as running 50 miles through some dumb mountain range??? If Steve had been searching for gold or silver in the Mingus mountains THAT would have made sense... OK - here is a hill running tip from my Chi book (OK - so here is a 2nd tip first: if your running shoes weigh more that 8 ounces - throw them away...they are "running you" instead of the other way around...in other words if the shoes are heavy and clunky you can't be in touch with the ground as you glide over it...you are altering your stride because the shoes are making you alter your stride...the minimalist shoe makes sense and I can promise you one thing (ask Rob too) - you WILL go faster. Back to the hill tip - I have shared this with Rob and Dave. I know they are both skeptical. They should be. There are only 2 people that I know that enjoy running hills: Kam Hott and myself. I only like them since I was in the St. George marathon in 2006 and I vowed to NEVER let anyone pass me on an uphill unless it was late in a marathon/ultra and I was all out. So in effect I have "embraced" the hills and kept my promise. As for Kam - he is one sick B-TARD. He does actually enjoy it. Maybe brain damage from working in the computer field??? Brain damage from working in the academic field? Maybe Karyn slipped him some of that "Happy Water"?? Attached are 3 picture of page 177-179 from the Chi running book. I haven't perfected this but I have tried it and if you hate hills - you will love this...AND go faster too. If I ever see any of you trying to pass me on a hill while using this technique - it won't be pretty...Ken out.
