I enjoyed reading your reflection of the 2011 Ascent... I can relate to much of what you experinenced and will also be making changes to my approach to this event for 2012...much as you did in your second Ascent.

This is something I will try, especially since it's gluten, dairy and egg free!. It's a tough combo!

Just went to SA to buy a running top and a pair of kayano 17's... everyone is closing them out at $99... I wanted a pair today... but the sale didn't start for two days and the frankly even their sale price was $20 higher then the on-line stores... The mgr. said no ! come back in two days... I had to laugh, I put down the $80 full price top I was about to buy and explained how he just lost two sales... I'm sure the 25 yr. old mgr. had his hands tied by some corporate policy... but the bottom line is SA let a $200 sale fall away... never going back.
Can you say Circuit City ?

It is definitely the weather for stew at the moment. it is bonfire night in England tonight and I have just spent the past three hours in the freezing cold watching fireworks....could have really done with some of your stew lol.

And I’m not ready to say “I’m never doing that again.”
LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing the report, and hope to see you at Pikes in the future.

Wow, I love it! You are an inspiration. I noticed you say you drank Aclimate. Do you take any other supplements? So far, I just take an energy supplement I get from PureMatters.com, and I also drink a vitamin drink I get at the vitamin store by my house. Please share!

Sports Authority often has significant sale prices on sneakers. The problem is that they never have any stock to back it up. When they do, they probably offer the best deal you can get (ex. $30 off Asics 1160). As an avid runner I buy a lot of shoes and shop often. My experience is that 70% of the time SA doesn't have the stock when they run the sale. It used to be in retail that they would stock stores for a sale. SA doesn't. The company just runs the sales add. No inventory? Too bad. Sort of like a bait and switch to get you into the store. It happened again yesterday and I decided I'm done with SA. Runner's unite!

Sports Authority does suck!!! They sell you extended warrenties and when the time comes to fix or replace something, it is the biggest hassel. They have had my bike forTHREE WEEKS repairing it?!?
And, their staff SUCKS TOO!! I still have not gotten a clear answer as to when I will get my bike back!

While I appreciate that you had a much more pleasant experience at Sports Authority than either myself or my readers (I also suspect you work there), I would appreciate it if you would refrain from using profanity – particularly while addressing myself or the people reading this blog. Additionally, I must respectfully disagree with your statement(s), as you were not present during our interactions with Sports Authority. Finally, you might consider reviewing your comments before posting them for grammar and spelling as it might lend a little more credence to what you are trying to say.

Wow you are such a liar, I have been shopping at sports authority for years and I myself have purchased shoes and the replacement plan at sports authority. Every sports authority i have been to has helped me with my situation no matter what has happened. Personally I am always fighting about warranties, but Sports authority will ALWAYS help you out unless you are a complete bitch which im assuming u were being at the time than trying to understand there situation....Honestly if anyone is reading all of this dont pay attention to the person above because i think there someone that works at another sports store tying to make sports authority look bad toe be honest. U might be thinking the same way after this post, and i understand completly. But do i agree that sports authority has some flaws...YES, every store does. but people like the person that made the comment above are DUMB ASSES that are just in a pissed off mood =)

Loved, loved, loved your summary of our adventure :) I couldn't have put it any better and you are right there are really no words to fully describe what we all went through together. I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else, what a great team we had. Love ya girl and can't wait for the next adventure! PPA, here we come....and I think there is a Hood to Coast in our future!

Hi, I really enjoy your blog.

I am the inventor of a running program for iPhone and Android called PaceMaker.

Are you interested in doing a review of the application on your blog? I would give you a free version of the application and send some traffic to your site.

The application is designed to solve the problem of trying to run at a specific pace.

You can set a pace, like a 9 minute mile, and the application tells you to ""speed up"" or ""slow down"" while you are running.

I created it myself after being frustrated that no other apps out there would help me keep pace, without my having to look down at a watch or unlock a phone.

It also does the standard tracking of your runs on a map and allow you to post your run to dailymile.com.

Anyway, if you are interested, please let me know.

Thanks for you time, and keep it up. Your blog is great!

John Sonmez

do you also do HIIT by any chance (High intensity interval training) i've started thatfor two weeks! Its just like running but ALOT more mentally demanding and its great! But yeah, you gotta be careful to have rest days or else it leads to knee and joint injuries (soft tissue) which is very slow to recover. take it easy. :)

Those look like some healthy smoothies you made there! Great run congratulations it sounds like the first run of the season was successful. I began running after my California doctor told me it would benefit my health and my health is very important to me so I have started to run about 3-4 miles a day which is an improvement for myself.
