The one scary thing I can say about my legs is that my thighs have probably actually shrunk since running longer distances. I used to play more soccer and moutain bike both of which make for big strong thighs and earned me the "thunder thighs" nomiker at one point. Now, how would you ladies react to *that* as a nick name :-)Steve Ansellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107967737535707878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605766.post-19756436619859721162006-10-18T14:18:00.000-07:002006-10-18T14:18:00.000-07:00Agree with Jess - you look the same:)

I wasn't sure should I kick his butt or be happy all the trail hill running (vs NYC roads) built me up. I decided to take it as a compliment. I did drop him a few times at the night section as a punishment:)<br />p.s. thanks for Hardrock commentOlgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605766.post-36590262616167816522006-10-18T10:39:00.000-07:002006-10-18T10:39:00.000-07:00Hey!

As for the legs, I guess tree trunks are the best advantage that those of us who are "stride challenged" can have. If they ever decide to have a "Short Stumpy" ultra division, you and I are set! <br /><br />My feet are feeling pretty good. I did 7 miles this morning and all feels pretty OK. I have been working on them and my calves daily. Thanks for the birthday wish. It was on the 9th. Olga and I actually have the same B-day, but I am a year older which must explain why she can run ultras so much faster than me...yeah...that's it ;-).Steve Ansellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107967737535707878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605766.post-33136176692219765102006-10-18T09:39:00.000-07:002006-10-18T09:39:00.000-07:00Actually, Jess, he never ran at all.

I actually wrote something about it to post on blogger, but it's incomplete so has been sitting in draft mode for months. A guy I met at Angel Island said that I had tree trunk legs and considering I'm a girl, it's amazing how well I took that. Being a trail runner really starts to change your perspective on things. <br /><br />Good luck with the feet thing. And happy birthday.Mikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918637899747648399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605766.post-73872799352450612962006-10-18T09:30:00.000-07:002006-10-18T09:30:00.000-07:00Jessica, it must have been something in that Ann T...Jessica, it must have been something in that Ann Trason chocolate cake.Steve Ansellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107967737535707878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605766.post-44824077178315097982006-10-17T14:28:00.000-07:002006-10-17T14:28:00.000-07:00You don't look that different after running 50 mil...You don't look that different after running 50 miles.
