Ran a brutal 8 miles today in 80 degrees with 15000% humidity. It took a long 1:10. At that pace I should complete the ultra by early next year. Haha.
Here's the link to the Ultra if you want to come watch.
The plan is to walk all up hills and steep down hills taking care to protect the quads and calves (and ankles of course), as well keeping me from bonking. I would like to do 12-13 min miles if possible. That'd be about 7 hours...a tad faster than the elite runners doing the 50 miler that started 1 hour ahead of us. The cut-off is a generous 10 hrs.
Good stuff.
High adventure wherever we can find it.
The former vagabonds
We've officially hung up our vagabond hats. We are back at work and are actually living in a house - not a tent.
But that doesn't mean we're not seeking out adventure whenever (and wherever) we can.
For those who just want to read about our 2,650-mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail, scroll down and check out our slideshows or go to the archives. We started the trail April 29, 2008 and finished Sept. 25, 2008.

What's up with the blog slogan, anyway?
We don't intend to traipse around in Chanel and Christopher Josse duds, thank you.
We're talking about how we approach life, including the hard parts. We were inspired by Clint Eastwood's The Eiger Sanction of all things. This explains it all.
