I'm trying to get a mock Ragnar in for Vegas in two weeks.  I ran last night, this morning, and I'll run later tonight again.  This morning I ran my "backwards" loop.  I'm finding out that running counterclockwise around the city block is dangerous.  People just aren't looking for pedestrians coming from that direction.  You constantly have to be on your guard.  I still need to test that theory a little more.  After running the 4.3 mile backwards loop I stopped and ate some energy chews and drank some PowerAde.  Then I went out and ran the canal loop.

AM run

Time - 1:02:04 (avg. pace 8:35)

Splits - 8:22, 8:27, 8:35, 8:38, 8:34, 8:49, 8:37, 2:02 for 0.23 (8:48 pace)

three runs in 24 hours? nice job. your team is lucky to have someone who actually trains properly for a relay.

running backwards should help you prepare for the dangers of running ragnar then. keep running backwards, it's good for you.

Running backwards again? Didn't you learn your lesson last time?

From flatlander on Sun, Oct 10, 2010 at 19:34:45 from 76.31.26.153

Nice run, glad you have some reasonable temperatures finally.

I came to your blog fully expecting hairy or sweaty pics of you. I walk (click) away very disappointed.

Nice work on those loops...just glad they're not fruit loops.

burt - i just found out i share a birthday with john lennon! are you jealous? are you done camping yet?

scott - you should copy and paste your comment to PRE's blog so that he can feel more at ease. then again, it might scare him away. i am scared.

From Lily on Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 23:33:13 from 67.199.181.73

I am as scared as Allie is Scott.

Burt you are a runnin fool. Does running backwards make you a backwards kinda guy? I am starting to wonder.

Where does Ragnar Vegas run? From where to where?

From Burt on Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 01:25:05 from 68.225.214.248

Scott - sorry dude. I don't want to spoil you.

allie - I'm jealous that you share the same birthday with Everybody Hates Chris.

Nicole - it starts east of Vegas in the Valley of Fire. Then it circles around the south side of Vegas and ends in the northwest part of the city.
