DISQUS

Chris Brogan: It's a MOUNTAIN, stupid.

  • Jon in Michigan · 5 years ago
    FANTASTIC! That's a great time, Chris, especially for running up a MOUNTAIN!. Gotta love the snacks. I would have stopped right there. No need to move another step. :) (That's why you can run those and I can't)

    Great run and great report!

    MOUNTAIN! What were you thinking!
    Hope your less sore than I am today!

    Happy recovery day.

    Wow, that's AWESOME! Nice accomplishment, and nice time. Sounds like a great race. It makes me anxious for my first real "trail" race in early November, the Rock Ledge Rumble here in the Dallas area. It's not a MOUNTAIN (did you say mountain?) but it is very hilly and technical.

    Good work! Glad it was so enjoyable.

    Wow. Wow. Wow. Can you believe you did that? I'm so impressed and jealous!! It sounds like a wonderful day and a fantastic run. Good for you:)Now, I'm going to say to myself, "if Chris can run a mountain, I can do this!"

    That sounds like a blast - and something that's going to be an annual tradition for you in the years to come. Great showing, and a good beer choice for afterwards!

    Great race Chris!

    One thing I'm not quite clear on though. Was this a mountain or just a really hilly course?

    So it was flatter than you expected? (tee hee).

    Seriously man...I am so proud of you!

    I know I'm such a dork, but truly (when I wasn't laughing out loud at some of your descriptions) I was feeling very emotional when I read this. I felt a wee bit "teary-eyed", mostly because you did this awesome, amazing thing. And partly because I haven't had steak in like, 3 years, and I really, really, really want one.

    fabulous description of the scenery. Congratulations! I just finished a REAL mountain run this weekend myself.

    It gave me an absolute rush to read this. It was like I was right there, running through it all with you. I just found your blog and am totally floored by your self-discipline. I like that you're working on not only changing your physical self but also your inner self. I find those two things really work in conjunction. I read up on your archives about the pre-dawn running -- can you tell me what you do for safety? Do you carry any mace? A cell phone? A stick?

    Again, congratulations!
