Toenail Removal
Interesting article in the NY Times on Ultrarunning and toenail removal. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22FITNESS.html My favorite quote is "You know any sport has gone off the rails when you have to remove body parts to do it,” said Christopher McDougall, the author of a recent book about ultrarunning called “Born to Run.”

Our HURT family will be well represented at Xterra, as Bob & Barbi McAllaster, Nick Kaiser, Steve Dewald and Amy Bennet Eck will be doing Xterra. Nick and Amy will be doing the…

Chicago Marathon Report

10/16 Friday Night – Sunset to Sunrise 40 Miler
Planning to push out from Paradise Park around 5:30pm for a HURT double. If you are doing Peacock Flats as a training run, then this is a good build. If you are racing Peacock Flats, think twice. Not planning to drop supplies around except at Paradise Park. Working on nutrition and slow pace endurance, so…
