A Few Favorite Links
March 1, 2009Below are a few links that I visit frequently. Some are running related and others are more general or personal interest. This list will evolve over time but here is a start.
- The brand new Chicago Ultra Runners group.
- Gillian and Don run a wonderful shop for the hard to find running supplies called ZombieRunner.
- Krissy is a ultra runner with a fun outlook on life and a good balance of taking care of herself, staying in touch with friends/family and still being a very tough runner; I love reading her blog.
- My brother shares my sense of humor - I love reading his blog and looking at the wonderful photos he takes.
- Rob, Rina and Lucy - I simply love them.
- REI has great gear at reasonable prices.
- I use an on-line running log available at RunningAhead.
- Stan maintains a good repository of information for running long on his website.
- The Ultramarathon Store isn’t really a store but rather a comprehensive listing of ultras around the country.
- LEWIS, this guy was born to write and he is a pretty awesome guy!
- Torey is responsible for the Chicago Ultra Runners group and has revived her blog - I love her spirit!
- Paige (a.k.a. Crash) is part of the Chicago Ultra Runners group and has a Serious Case Of The Runs, I have yet to see her not smiling or laughing.
- Lovebirds who love to run, that’s Brian and Kelly.
- I wear a variety of training shoes but have fallen in love with a trail shoe from inov-8, which can be a little hard to find but they do carry them at ZombieRunner and that is where I get them.
- Jim O = The Real Deal
- I recently started using a drink called Perpetuem by Hammer Nutrition for my longer runs. It got its first real test at KM100 where I “did it liquid” (as Adrian likes to say) and it performed fantastically.
