I also think growing up with a very (hate to say it)abusive childhood has really hardened my mental abilities to cope with 'discomforts'. These setbacks have given me a huge advantage in the UltraRunning world.<br /><br />hope that helps.<br />cheers<br /><br />and i think you're aWESOme (and superhuman) for running 330km through Italy, and GREst work running a strong 50km last weekend :) age is a mindset and an accumulation of lessons.Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909586417909802988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26518861.post-75933003357552933282011-04-15T09:31:43.888-07:002011-04-15T09:31:43.888-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909586417909802988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26518861.post-49566855243334220502011-04-15T09:14:53.563-07:002011-04-15T09:14:53.563-07:00Ha, Olga, you are absolutely right :-)
If I knew ...Ha, Olga, you are absolutely right :-)<br />If I knew all the people I (and DK) was introducing to ultrarunning were so fast, I might not have been so keen on getting them involved! At least all the McDougall disciples who are getting involved these days never seem to finish a race because he rocky trail has pummelled their bare feet to a pulp ;-)<br /><br />I'm kidding, of course, it is wonderful to see so many others involved in our great sport. Some are faster than we ever thought possible, but once one of them goes beyond the apparent barrier, they show it is possible and others will follow and go even faster. It's pretty cool seeing the amazing times being posted these days. <br /><br />But that HR lottery...that's another story!Bruce Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363485319695216641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26518861.post-73900282366013609632011-04-15T07:23:44.684-07:002011-04-15T07:23:44.684-07:00Tell me about it.

Then DK came and swapped the masses...then young blood came, and we are slow mules who hardly move these days. And HR100 is overwhelmed with lottery qualifiers. Ah, aging and whining...that's life! :)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26518861.post-83010189660279370212011-04-14T17:53:56.318-07:002011-04-14T17:53:56.318-07:00I suppose that your weird physical trait, which al...I suppose that your weird physical trait, which allows you to succeed in ultras, might be the lack of anything ressembling a toenail.

Being a past Yukoner I've done it a few times both hiking and running it and it's amazing. Are you hiking or running it? I've got some good friends in Whitehorse that have also done the trail many times so if you need a Yukon local for any info etc drop be an email (booneldog@gmail.com) or leave me a message on my blog.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948241091963239428noreply@blogger.com
