"You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back."
Steve Prefontaine

Some quick times at the 2017 Rocky Raccoon 100 Miler in Huntsville, TX this past weekend.
I just found out that I was chosen to be a Carson Footwear Ambassador this year. I was very
impressed that while I was investigating the shoes the owner, Everett Carson, contacted me to answer some questions, not many shoe company owners have ever contacted me in 44+ years of running. Carson's are a minimal shoe that, based on its design, has, at least to me, more cushioning than you would expect. I will not be doing any ultras in them for now but will be using them to strengthen my feet and work to build up to being able to run longer in them. I will be having a review of them in the next month after I get a few more miles on them but so far they are a great shoe. I am running in the Black Ops version.
At the Nitro Athletics meet in Melbourne they added a new event called the 1 Mile Elimination. If you know much about bike racing on the Velodrome, I have also done the race on a road circuit, there is a race called the "Miss and Out" or also called "Devil Takes the Hindmost." The idea is the last person across after a particular lap is eliminated until a set number of laps or people are left. For the Mile they eliminated 1 each for the first three laps till three were left for the final sprint. Makes for an entirely different race, see below, there seemed to be a glitch in the video but it will go back to working, or forward it a little:
Salomon's new running series "How to Run" - Part 1 - What is Trail Running
Part 2 - What to Wear - More to come
