http://run30hundreds.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. My biggest concern was my feet. I had a terrible time with blisters at Bighorn and I still had two decent sized holes in my heels, one of which was still very tender. The ball of my left foot was also still tender. I came up with a taping strategy and hoped for the best. Starting the race I was really worried as I could feel several different areas of . discomfort.

http://johntsharp.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Notes on running, human motivation, and adventure. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Measured Indifference: A Backyard Odyssey. What is an odyssey? Webster's Online says: a series of experiences that give knowledge or understanding to someone. The Big Backyard Ultra. Was such an experience. The Ultrasign up description says, "The concept is brutally simple. Race until every runner, save one, surrenders." And you can click on the link above for the rest of the details. And tried to make friends with Big. The Am...

30 in 52: Start of the Madness
http://run30hundreds.blogspot.com/2012/01/start-of-madness.html
Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Start of the Madness. I never thought that I would be publishing a blog but my girlfriend, Liz Bauer, and I have started a project that a number of friends have expressed interest in following and I think this will be the best way to keep everyone up to date. I've been meaning to write this initial post for months so here it goes. Liz and I with Phil McCarthy (center) moments. After he set the national 48 hour record in 2011. Us in this record attempt! Long Haul - FL. One of ...

30 in 52: IT'S DONE!
http://run30hundreds.blogspot.com/2012/12/its-done.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. Early yesterday morning (29 Dec) Liz and I both finished the Houston 100. This was Liz's 36th 100 miler in the calendar year 2012, and it was my 27th. We did it and it is now done! We both pushed hard on this one and following a sub-24 hour performance two weeks ago we both did a repeat sub-24 with Liz finishing in 22:26 and myself in 20:19. As we sit here in our hotel room we are sore, stiff and happy to be finished. Posted by Scott Brockmeier. December 31, 2012 at 12:33 PM.

http://run30hundreds.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 21, 2012. As the journey for 30 100 mile races in one year continues, Liz and I have been pleased with our abilities to recover and survive successive races. Of course we've only begun and the real heavy lifting will be starting soon. As our schedule. Shows, starting 24 March with the NJ Ultra Festival. We will be facing a stretch with 10 races in 11 weeks. That, will be interesting. The short story is that Liz and I finished the Iron Horse. Thank you to whoever did that work! I have to...

30 in 52: Houston 100
http://run30hundreds.blogspot.com/2013/01/houston-100.html
Thursday, January 3, 2013. Crap She had left her bag on the deck by one door and then left the house by another door and forgot to grab it. With a quick call to Airtran we made arrangements for a flight later in the day and drove the 80 miles back home and then back to the airport. Still, only two flights missed is pretty good, don't you think? Here is a picture after the race with RD Yen Nguyen the sweetest RD ever. Had smiles on their faces. The aid station food was your basic fare but there was pi...

Thursday, January 3, 2013. Pony Express 100 (by Liz). Go figure. By now it was 6pm and I was wanting to find the race start. Finally, at 8pm we found the race start and race director Davy Crockett. The starts are staggered to minimize dust on the road from crews. I was in the 7am start, I needed the extra hour of sleep. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What this blog is all about.

Friday, January 4, 2013. Expensive but who doesn't like a little bling? I've labeled the pictures for searching purposes. Posted by Scott Brockmeier. January 5, 2013 at 2:30 PM. Bling envy for SURE! Maybe we need to vote on these for awards . . . Favorite, Least Favorite, Most Creative, etc. Must separate the race from the buckle though. January 6, 2013 at 8:28 PM. January 15, 2013 at 8:12 PM.

30 in 52: A Year in Numbers
http://run30hundreds.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-year-in-numbers.html
Thursday, January 3, 2013. A Year in Numbers. Here's a table with some interesting numbers from our year. Perhaps the most surprising number that popped out as we compiled this list is the number of hours run. Liz had a total of 979.5 hours of running in 2012! That's a half time job and that's just time on her feet. I also had a goodly number at 751 hours and 47 minutes. Some more notes on these numbers:. The Coury brothers comped our Javelina entry. Thank you guys! Buckle photos will be up soon. If You ...

Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Our big concern going into the Heartland 100 was the weather. The race was held on 13 October which you would think would be past the tornado season but as the weekend approached we got some ominous emails from the RD. Here's one of them:. Just wanted to give all of you a heads up. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? The following weekend I would be attending my sister's wedding in Florida and Liz would be heading to Utah for the crew-mandatory Pony Express 100. The weekend aft...
