i'm stuck either way. K is already volunteering out there and i'm already registered. I could drop down to the half, but then i'd still have to pick up miles and I have no idea when she'll be done volunteering. Looks like i'll prob miss the first quarter, then listen to the rest on XM.

So you're running the full?
I might still sign up for it and just watch a DVR of the game. Just have to be able to avoid all reports of the game.

yep, i'm in for the full. its going to be a bit of a stretch for my current fitness, so I just have to be careful out there b/c its a somewhat fast course. I need to keep it easy on the first loop and then use what i've got left on loop 2. My longest run since spring was this past sunday at 16 miles, though I have a number of 12-13 milers over the summer and recently. I was scheduled for 18 that day, so throwing another 8 miles at it made sense 
Reminder: If anyone from TexAgs is coming to run Saddle Blazer, hit me up via email (in profile), I have discount codes.
If you need a code for one of the other races, I can see what I can do.

All the Spectrum races are a part of the 2017 Texas Trails Championship Series, if anyone is participating in that.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Hope the run today is going better than the game.
Glad I didn't watch that garbage!
Finished 8th, running on fumes.

Congrats! I was still on the fence about running or at least volunteering this week until my appendix tried to kill me.

Getting it removed?
Got it out Thursday. Going to be tough to run the Vagabond today...

are you actually up and running already? no idea recovery time for an appendix removal.
No, I'm not. Surgeon told me 2-3 weeks for anything more than jogging and any weights. I thought I'd be fine walking the segment today to at least post up a time (since I haven't missed one) but I couldn't even make it through a full day at my desk in the office today.
this is actually the first time i've done any of the vagabonds. should be at the HH tomorrow, you hitting that? or the trail film fest tonight?
Skipping the film fest for sure and may make the HH, depends on how I'm feeling and whether I head into downtown for work or not. Good luck on the trails, sounds like they may get pretty slick.
This seems very skewed towards Ultra runners. Why do you need to run an ultra to score max points in the trail category? Doesn't make sense.
I'm not affiliated with the trail championship series outside of my race being part of the series. However, the trail ando ultra divisions are completely separate. If you run an ultra distance, it scores no points for the trail distance and vice versa.
Just curious. Never stepped foot in this world. Wouldn't anything longer than a marathon be considered an Ultra?
For the trail division, the top points category is 26.2M - 50K
For the trail division, the top points category is 26.2M - 50K
If I'm looking in the right place, it's saying 26.2-sub 50k. My guess is that though 26.2 is the longest race, there are some timed races, and there are people that will surpass 26.2 in a 4 hour timed race.
Any race 50k and up is in the ultra category.

Bump for the Circus at McKinney Roughs this weekend.
I'm still in recovery mode so not running, but you'll see my smiling face at the 7 mile loop aid station.

Spectrum voted best trail races in Austin Fit's "Best of Austin" issue.
Price goes up tomorrow for Saddle Blazer. Register today to save some $$.
Same code as last year? I thought I had registered but I was wrong.
shoot me an email. scott at citycoach . org
Which fall 10K would you most recommend?
since you are specifying fall and 10K, i'd say Rawhide. Its a great property down in Comfort.
Unfortunately, there is no 10K at Sky Island or that would be the clear winner.

Spring could possibly work. Just fairly new to running in general, doing the Houston full in January so want to give myself ample recovery time and training time to get used to trail running. Plus I want to do the blue bell 10k in April.
Only 10K in the spring is my race, Saddle Blazer. That's Feb 25. Not sure if that gives you the recovery time you are looking for.

Fixed it for you

Still on the fence on signing up for Saddle Blazer. Can anyone convince me? I have done only one trail run to date which was Ragnar Hill Country.
Would a discount code help?
