AM- 9

PM- 11 with Joe from First Dam to just before Guinavah Malibu.  Easy pace, lots of conversation, focused mainly on moose and other wildlife.  92 min.  I've been eating a ton of fruits and veggies recently, which is great health-wise but bad GI-running wise.  

What is the best way to get pumped up for Logan Peak Trail Run this weekend?  I can think of no better way than watching this video...

Man, Coldplay seems to have a real running rhythm in a lot of their songs.

Thanks for sharing. It almost makes me want to leave the desert to run.

Awesome Video!

that's a great video. good for a little motivation on those days when your looking for a reason to get out there.

have you seen the one he put together for 2009? the link is:

i like the one you posted a little better, but the '09 one is pretty good, too...

Yeah, I've seen the 2009 one, too- I agree that the 2008 is better. More gorgeous scenery. Both are great, though.

Good luck Saturday. I thought about coming up, running around and watching, but need to stay closer to home this weekend.

Don't forget, we also talked about the naked lady who stole a guy's car, crashed it into a fence at ATK, got away from officers because she was slippery from sweat, stole the squad car, jumped it 50 feet, and then scaled a barbed wire fence into the arms of the taser-toting police.

Yup, Joe, can't forget that one. KSL even gives her name!

The video could have had more people chowing down at aid stations. That would get me pumped.

From Jon on Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 16:46:10 from 192.107.247.6

Paul, I think your purpose in life is to introduce the running world to Brugers. Try it at your Bear aid station this year.

Speaking of which, are you doing an aid station? Crewing me? Both?

From Paul on Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 18:39:15 from 65.103.252.214

Leatham again.

From Nic on Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 20:28:31 from 72.253.160.40

That is a cool video. I think a lot of it is from the Western States 100 course but not all of it. My hometown (Meadow Vista) is 15 minutes from the WS100 finish line so I got to see the finish many times and run all over parts of the course growing up. Someday I hope to run the WS100.

From Jon on Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 21:00:34 from 75.169.156.244

You and me both, Nic.

Paul- you'll have to cheer for me as I go by.
