50 miles around the school
The "Drop Bag" is a collection of news and events from the Off the Couch sporting world.
The name refers to the drop bags that competitors use to get their post race necessities from the start line to the finish line of point to point races. Looks like a couple Junior MInts stuck to the bottom.
Teacher on the run: Nikki Cahen must have felt some kind of ultra guilt after she missed the Best Dam Bike Tour for the MS Society in August. At least enough to compel the middle school teacher from Beaver Dam to run her own ultra marathon, 50 miles, on a loop near the school, on Nov. 8.
Since she didn't raise her usual $1,[url=http://www.diyrom@#$%&/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=430470&fromuid=48666]Discount Hermes Bags 40 Million In Cocaine Is Found At Sea[/url],000 for the MS Society,[url=http://www.ijiaren@#$%&/blog/?uid-486-action-viewspace-itemid-3092]Polo Outlet A psychopathic loot bag of laughs[/url], Cahen hopes to generate donations through her effort.

Born to Run: After great study and a few extreme runs in the Copper Canyons of Mexico, Christopher McDougall came to the realization that homo sapiens should be running and barefoot. That was my take away after reading his much acclaimed book, "Born to Run."
Tara Parker Pope builds upon that conclusion in this piece, which challenges the naysayers who warn that moving swiftly on two feet will cause irreparable harm.
Race Across the Sky: Mountain bikers and Lance Armstrong fans packed theaters across the country for the film documenting his race in the 2008 Leadville 100. Most came away impressed, not as much by the Tour de France champion, but by the stories of the citizen riders who tackled one of the sports great challenges.
Fun on a tricycle: My colleague Rick Barrett surprised me with this piece raving about trike bikes,[url=http://okane-antena-com.ssl-xserver.jp]chanel sunglasses Articles ab[/url], three wheeled recumbents that I suspect provide the stability and ride of an arm chair.
Barrett covers Harley Davidson, blogs about the Harley scene and dabbled recently in the fixed gear fever. He's a high tech fanatic who pushes himself whether running or biking. I checked, though, and he truly loved the fun he found on three wheels.
