Congrats on the ICY0-8!<BR/><BR/>Annette, I would love to join you 3-22 but have lacrosse all weekend...also tapering for Terrapin the next weekend. But one of these days I would love to run the Balds of NC...is that the Art Loeb trail? Keep me posted on your adventures!<BR/><BR/>Did you see the awesome article in March Runners World about Bob Wilder, Jay Dicharry, and "staying injury-free?" I am going to blog about it in the next few days.

I ran the ICY 8-Hour on Saturday and did not have to contend with big climbs, although, sometimes the climbs can offer a well needed walking break. Run Strong!<BR/>MikeMichael Huffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776701640145954584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-32035157697350849922009-02-09T16:40:00.000-05:002009-02-09T16:40:00.000-05:00Sophie, great write-up and photos!

We did come down for 2 loops last year in the ice storm aftermath. It always seems to be nice when we "don't" come down! That doesn't bide well for Reverse Ring, which should be a raging blizzard =:-0<BR/><BR/>SteveSteve Perohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233567281691642089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-21622535080544978042009-02-09T08:37:00.000-05:002009-02-09T08:37:00.000-05:00I think you should make it the week after so i can...I think you should make it the week after so i can go.
