My parents house is on the west side of Estes, I'll see what mom might suggest for a full day hike. We hiked Longs on a whim over 4th of July, starting at...
Hey Paul, I just got back from Estes and I'd have to agree with Rick about the Twin Sisters trail which starts just east of the Lily lake trails. It only goes...
Thought this was interesting regarding Alan Smith's training (KC guy) for the Leadville 100 this year and how he has incorporated barefoot running to help him...
Anyone have any advice for coping with the heat and humidity? I take in plenty of electrolytes and stay well hydrated, but for some reason, my body just...
Spend as much time in heat and humidity as you can, including running. Run slowly or walk if you have to, with all precautions -- but be in it. Acclimation is...
So true Gary! Good advice. Harry Houdini would take ice baths to rigor his body to the freezing temps of having himself submerged in a safe in the middle of...
unless you're having muscle spasms, or get real quesy, you're probably okay nutritionally. Just push through it, and learn to embrace the sweat. I don't know...
Would you honestly attempt Badwater without shoes? I can't fathom it, but nothing is impossible! ... freezing temps of having himself submerged in a safe in...
So basically drive around without the AC on and hang out on the front porch. (sigh). :) Maybe some steep uphill walks in the heat will help. ... running. Run...
I usually run in the afternoons just so I'm acclimated to the heat and humidity. Or at least I like to think I'm a little more acclimated than if I always ran...
A few years ago, I wouldn't have dreamed of running a 40 miler barefoot, but it happened. Then again, 135 miles is a whole bunch more than 40! But, I do enjoy...
ditto here - and thus this year I opted to cut most of my summer running and am just looking to the fall to build up miles again. If I cold make my body more...
Perhaps study up on Indian coal walkers? Like just about everything else, its got to be a mind over matter thing. ... about ... work ... fathom ... middle ... ...
Actually there's something to that. I'm sitting here at work in long pants and a sweater because the thermostat is set at 75 degrees so I'm FREEZING! I was...
Must be...I think the heat is okay. I have lived in some hot places. But I think its the humidity I really need to acclimate to. I can handle one or the other,...
My advice: Gradually build up your tolerance for running in hot/humid weather. It takes 10 to 14 days to acclimate (as much as your body will acclimate). You...
Excellent! Thanks, Ben. Basically the problem is beginning to come up recently since I always run at 4:30 or 5:30 in the morning...as my runs get longer, the...
I've been to Badwater twice to crew for Karl. The air temperature is close to 130 degrees, the ground temperature is about 200 degrees! Shoes have melted out ...

Just a little more description on a few hikes my parents have done. (Not at trail nerd speed, but a good walking pace as they spend half their time in the...
I concur about Mill Lake. When I climbed McHenry's Peak a few years ago, it is a beautiful spot headed up Glacier Gorge. (When I did Chief's Head, I came from...
After a long talk with my very level headed better half last night, I decided that since I am not running in any hot weather races, why bother with trying to...
Remember, tonight we're running at Wyco, Saturday we're running long on at Wyco, and there's a little 5K on Sunday at Shawnee Mission Park. If anyone wants to...
I posted a race report to my blog. If you want inspiration to do a 50-miler ( or a 50K ), just check-out some of the photos that I took while on the course. ...
Great race report. Some of those pictures belong in a frame and on a wall! I take it you are healing well from your bout with acute gravitational influx? A...
