Ross' Ultra Ramblings: Wild Duluth 100K
http://rossjilk.blogspot.com/2011/10/wild-duluth-100k.html
An outlet for the thoughts of an obsessive. My current obsessions include ultra trail running, biochemistry, nutrition, music, politics and reading. Monday, October 17, 2011. What is piriformis syndrome? Each of these helped, but only until I tried running again. Two days later, my feet are still swollen and I still can't walk down stairs without holding on to the railing, but I am recovering and looking forward to 50 miles at Surf the Murph in less than two weeks. October 17, 2011 at 6:30 PM. As I was g...

North Woods Trail Running: November 2010
http://minnesotatrails.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
North Woods Trail Running. One woman's adventures while trail running in and around Minnesota. November 28, 2010. Went out to Afton yesterday for the Pederson Benefit Run. With lots of old and new trail running friends. Very heartwarming to see so many people come out to support the Pederson family, who have given so much of themselves to the sport and community over the years! That was followed by an awesome pot luck lunch and a silent auction with all kinds of cool stuff! Or making a donation. Days of ...

North Woods Trail Running: June 2011
http://minnesotatrails.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
North Woods Trail Running. One woman's adventures while trail running in and around Minnesota. June 27, 2011. William O'Brien 10 Mile. I was really on the fence about even going to this race. Given the sore foot. Decided at the last possible minute that I'd go check this race out, since it's a new trail/park that I haven't run yet, and Wayne. A few weeks ago. No pressure). Thanks to RD Jeff and his crew for putting on a fun race! Labels: MN Trail Run Series. Upper Midwest Trail Runners. June 23, 2011.

North Woods Trail Running: Hyland Lake Barefoot Run
http://minnesotatrails.blogspot.com/2011/05/hyland-lake-barefoot-run.html
North Woods Trail Running. One woman's adventures while trail running in and around Minnesota. May 4, 2011. Hyland Lake Barefoot Run. Since I'd sent out invitations to dozens of people a few days ago asking them to join me for a trail run and raptor release at Hyland Lake this weekend, I decided I'd better head out there for a beta run to see what the trail conditions were like. Hyland is probably my favorite spot to run barefoot because the trails are soft, non-technical, and I still have sissy feet.

Self employ...

North Woods Trail Running: August 2010
http://minnesotatrails.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
North Woods Trail Running. One woman's adventures while trail running in and around Minnesota. August 7, 2010. The heat and humidity have really wrecked my running plans this summer - enough that I will most likely be doing only the marathon at North Country. I had only one early morning client yesterday, so I did the work thing at the gym and then headed out to Afton. With the intention of getting a 20 mile run in. Success! 2088 Refilled the Nathan at the solar powered water pump (which is. The second l...

North Woods Trail Running: Afton 25K - 2011
http://minnesotatrails.blogspot.com/2011/07/afton-25k-2011.html
North Woods Trail Running. One woman's adventures while trail running in and around Minnesota. July 3, 2011. Afton 25K - 2011. This year's Afton Trail Run. Because of the MN gov't shutdown which started on July 1, there was a very last minute venue change from the usual state park site to Afton Alps Ski Area. And very humid. Thank goodness for the ice sponges and well stocked aid stations (as well as awesome volunteers)! Slowest 25K by far. About 50 minutes slower than my previous slowest at Superior.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost: Hellgate 100K
http://helenlavin.blogspot.com/2009/12/hellgate-100k.html
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Tuesday, December 15, 2009. 12:01AM, December 12, 2009. No matter how you look at it, there is something fundamentally unfair about starting a race at one minute past midnight. Unfortunately, it soon became apparent that the starting time was the kindest part of this race. The Road to Hell. Is generally portrayed as pretty daunting. For me, it began with my first visit to the Blue Ridge Mountains for the 2007. Which I’d entered after. Was cancelled, and decided to aband...
