yep, i'm amping up my elevation training this month...what I can anyways, as where I live lacks hills.....and I have never ran further than 21 km...so I'm hoping to do a 24 and 29 k run the next two weekends....but basically if the elevation doesnt kill me, I'm sure the cougars, and bears will!

Flutter- I agree completely. A marathon is something that if you have the training and determination to accomplish will change your life for the better, and really give you a true sense of self. You should be really proud of your accomplishment...only 1% of the population can even finish a marathon.<br>I love running because it keeps me fit and sane
- I should really give it a try this year. at least a 10k.VectorMasked
- go for it!delmar
- DO IT!flutter
- Running definitely keeps me sane, but it can be a love/hate relationship. It's mental judo.flutter

finally nike+ for the latest iphone. Been waiting for something that gave accurate gps readings of runs. Curious if it will work with the iphone 3g or if it is only for the iphone 3gs. Either way happy to finally see it for the iphone. Now if they only had a heart monitor with the nike + system, it would be a complete system.
- I like the GPS tracking functionality but I would be worried about getting it wet or getting jacked.flutter

hey flutter how long does it takes you to do your 9 miles run?
- Dancer0
We did well. 3-1 up at Half time and then the young whipper snappers started to run rings round us. Final score 3-5. Still a relatively respectable result. Ankle feels fine so I may have to hit the K's over the next week. Prepare for a come back

Unlucky on the hockey Dancer. When I was at art college in Edinburgh, played for the university first team and you've really got to hate those whipper snappers, especially the scottish ones (kidding).
Need to do some miles, but am away from home for the moment, so my total might be even more pathetic than last time.

JP - Depends on the weather, if its cool I can pace around a 9 min mile, but if its hot and humid I'm more in the 10-10.5 mi range, the air in atlanta is so thick and heavy in the summer, its like running in a polluted steam room. No excuse though, I know people that kill it here I need to do some speed work, but for now just trying to take it easy on my knees and put in mileage for this challenge.
I like cold weather running better. (within reason, some of these crazy guys run in negative conditions)
Are you running with a team for that Denver challenge?
- joseprieto0
