Did you use a shovel to cut them down? If not Padawan, then you still have more to learn.

Good man. I had a light day today. Run in the morning, then farmers market, then convenience store, then mowed my lawn. I did use one shovel today to pick up dog turds.
Now drinking beer in front of a fire watching sports.

How can a fire watch sports?Good man. I had a light day today. Run in the morning, then farmers market, then convenience store, then mowed my lawn. I did use one shovel today to pick up dog turds.

Pick up your word turds, man. With a shovel.

Look guys. I know you think it’s all funny and all giving me a hard time about the shovels. And that’s fine. But the shovel represents more than just a functional tool to me.
The shovel represents hope. The shovel can dig you out of any situation. The shovel can be responsible for planting sustenance, which then can sustain life.
The humble shovel can build a foundation, both physically and emotionally, to create a home for body and soul. The shovel can even create humor and bring laughter when one steps on one end and cracks themselves in the forehead.
Each man needs a shovel. Civilizations were built by beginning with a shovel. Our soldiers relied on a common shovel to dig a foxhole to save their lives during war time, allowing them to walk back into their homes to a relieved family. A shovel can keep your family safe during snowy and icy conditions, thus saving frantic drives to the emergency room for broken hips or cracked skulls.
Give a man a shovel, and you give him a means to provide for his family. It gives him pride because he knows with that shovel and a flask of water he can go far in this world.
Shovels don’t argue politics on Facebook - as a matter of fact if people went outside and used their shovels, there would be less strife and arguments In the world. Shovels only care about the hands that wield it’s potential.
So get out there. Dig a hole. Scoop some snow. Shovel up turds so your kids can prance barefoot through the fall grasses.
And for those of you who must scoff at the lowly shovel, I challenge you to look deep into your soul and see if YOU are worthy of a shovel.
In the meantime, leave me and my ***.king shovels alone.

@BassNBrew through 52mi in 11:40. 97/203 + 7 DNFs.
He always talks about being a slogger but this is much faster and more competitive than slogging. Way to go, BnB!

Half way through in under 12 hours. That’s awesome. I’d say he’s in great position at this stage to hit his goal of sub-27.

Of course it was. Want to drop 12 pounds in a day? Run 100 miles, but skip the aid stations.
On the flip side if you want to gain 12 pounds, just take a gel every 9 minutes.

Go Bass!60 mile mark in 14:05, so if accurate his last 8 miles were at just over an 18min/mile pace. If he keeps that pace up he’ll finish somewhere between 26-27 hours.Hopefully he’s not dealing with any major issues as he heads into the night.

Go BnB!!! I look forward to checking in first thing in the morning after a good night's sleep.

He’s slowed just a bit, but not surprising with this many miles logged and running in the darkness. Still right on pace for a 27ish finish if he can hit 20 minutes per mile. Dig BnB! Diiiiiiiig!!!

I somehow couldn’t find his tracking on the website. Hopefully @BassNBrew is still crushing it.
good luck!
my update — getting ready to lead the 3:40 pace group in the Mohawk Hudson marathon this morning.

Not to be.
Never had knee pain but both knees went to hell around mile 50. Like a needle into the outside every step. They came back around mile 55 for a bit but down the pooper right before mile 60. Pace slowed to where I wasn’t good to make it so I dropped down to the 100k at mile 80
not used to the cold and it took 30 miles for the legs to warm up
got Behind on my fluids and my second pee of the day at mile 50 was red. Hope that was the morning beet juice and not something internal. That dissuaded me from take any Advil well I fixed that and was soon having to stop to pee every 30 min wasn’t long after that the stomach went and mile 72 became a puke fest
thanks to all for the sweat time for some sleep

@BassNBrew You're a total badass. Way to leave it all out there! May not have gone exactly as planned, but still an amazing feat. Awesome job.

Eighty miles is a hell of a run @BassNBrew . It sucks to hear, but it sounds like you made the right call. No sense in causing any long term issues just to finish. Rest up and be proud. I’ll double back on your “red pee” and Advil comments when I get my ### around to posting a Superior race report, hopefully this week.

Super proud of your effort, @BassNBrew. You’re one tough BMF, but it’s hard to fight on when the body says no.

@BassNBrew, I know you're disappointed. Sorry that your body didn't align with your mental bad-assery today. Hopefully you still feel up to a RR. Powering through the last 30 miles with your knee pain is worth sharing and I'd love to know how you did it.
I always have red pee after the beet juice, so I don't think you have anything to worry about there.
Hopefully you're getting a good long sleep right now, you #BMF.

This. Get some rest and let your body heal. You’re a beast and even a beast needs some down time.

@SteveC702 in at 2:24:44. Amazing. 5:31 min/mile pace. I don't know what his goal was, but so filthy.

@Juxtatarot holding steady. 35K down and still at 6:50 pace over last section. Estimated 2:58:40. Half hour more to go.....bring it home!!

I'm sure he trained more than he has recorded, but given the time he took off to tend to injury I suspect he's satisfied. I wonder if he has his sights set on a QT in spring.

@Juxtatarot is in at 2:59:10 (6:50 pace)
Looks like a tough finish but a fantastic time. Congrats!!! Just so damn consistent.

If that’s the goal (an OTQ), I’m guessing he’ll run CIM in December. The Trials are February 29.

Way to gut it out, @Juxtatarot! I feel like I already know what the RR is going to sound like, but I still can’t wait to read it.
