Sucky weather and the Super Bowl

The running conditions were pretty crappy today. I went out for about 4 miles in the new snow over ice. I wore my Yaktrax and I don't think they helped much. The only way I could find the ice was to step on it-and then slip. I hope the conditions are better for the Psycho Wyco 50k (http://www.psychowyco.com/id7.html)on Feb 10th. If you haven't signed up yet, do it. There are 3 distances and the race packets and prizes are AWESOME!
On another note, I pick the Colts. I don't think Peyton is going to be denied. I also changed the name of my blog. I like inane becuz it rhymes with Shane. I couldn't think of a cool word like ramblings or musings though. Any suggestions?
One more thing that I almost forgot. Jonathan Page won a silver medal at the Cyclocross world championships last weekend. This is the first time an American has ever won a medal in the elite men's race. Check it out at http://www.cyclingnews.com/ AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blue springs marathon

 We had a nice run Sunday at Wyco. I think we had 16 people on the first loop. Five of us continued on for a second loop. We ended up finishing both loops in under 2 hours each, so I was pretty happy with that. I think it bodes well for Psycho Wyco. Todays photo is of Bad Ben at the Blue Springs Marathon.

New year's eve run

I went for a run on New Years eve with my dog. I left the house after the first quarter of the Chief's game. I was going to be a lazyass and just watch football all day. It's kinda weird how sometimes you just have great runs. The ones where everything is smooth and you just float along . It got kinda windy and started snowing while I was out. I love those conditions. I turned around after half an hour-had to get back to see the end of the game. They won! The real nail-biter for me though was the Broncos-49ers game . I can't believe the Chiefs are in the playoffs. Their running game should be strong against the colts D , but I think they're gonna miss Jason Dunn. Whatever. GO CHIEFS!!! Yes, that's me on the left.

My New Blog for the New Year!

I set this up so I could post comment s on other people's blogs but I think I might try to post cool stuff occasionally. I hope it's not too insipid! Here is a pic from the "Alternate" chili run on Dec 9-06. We had around 40 runners brave the elements and do a loop of the famous "PsychoWyco" course. I was the slowest of the fast group that day. It was tough with the icy trail conditions. I think I finished the 10.3 mile loop in around 1:45. Pretty slow for the effort it took. I lost most of my screws by the end so the last icy mile was pretty sketchy. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! Right now I'm looking forward to a couple more long runs before PsychoWyco 50k on Feb 10th. I'm also goig to send in my entry for the Leadville 100 mountaon Bike race(I hope I get in!). See you on the trails!
