An issue that confronts the would-be urban walker determined to traverse a megacity from one boundary to the other: do you outfit and equip yourself for ordinary urbanity, or for the walk?

I’m halfway minded to adopt some of the practices and tactics I use in #ultrarunning and #ultralight hiking, but by the same token poles and hydration bladders and so on stick out like a sore thumb. You want to be able to move through crowds, duck into bodegas, pet the local cats, etc.

Neckarcross Ultra Race – Trailrunning.

Erika Varis Doggett1d ago

Day 1 of my Backbone trail shenanigans: Ray Miller to Latigo Canyon. Self-planned route, crewed by husband and partner. Beautiful peaks, but damn that first climb is brutal!

The heat set in after the morning mist burned off, and kicked my butt pretty hard, but I made it through, and every time I stopped and got ice and a snack and a short sit down I felt better to tackle the next section.

With luck, I can keep doing the same thing tomorrow for Day 2.

While Rachel Entrekin was running the last mile of Cocodona 250, to win for the third time the women’s race and set a new course record, beating it by more than two and half hours, and to win for the first time the overall race, she stopped to pet dogs :)

❝Of course, I can’t do what [Kara Goucher has] done in competition […]. What I can relate to, though, are the difficulties she’s gone through and the courage she’s shown in overcoming them. And maybe — maybe? — that’s something I can replicate in my own life.
