Beer for Runners?? ((eww, lordy, i hope that's the case!))

Improve Your Run Time
This is one of my many vices. I know there's a 20min window after a work out of the day (W.O.D.) where I get the opportunity to fuel my deleted muscles. But after evening workouts, esp in the summer, a beer seems right. Maybe I'm on to something as explained here: LINK  



  • Beer drinkers experienced a greater support for the immune system.

How are the Ramari Able To Run So Far?

New-New Balance Trail Shoes. (If your MT100s are wearing out, here's the replacement).

New Balance MT110

The latest New Balance Minimal trail shoe, the MT 101.  I have had my MT100s for more than a year and they're holding up great.  I wore them in my first 50miler (the 2010 JFK50).  The 100s are light, allow water to flow through them, and have a good combination of ground-feel versus rock protection (normally these attributes are inversely proportional), but the tread is not 'grippy' for muddy or wet rocks. - all trade offs.  More info here.  What's your trail shoe?
