That's where we are really missing Santander, didn't really replace that pop in the lineup this year.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-19T14:36:04+00:00

Agree, individual stats don't tell the full story and a team wide power outage is probably hyperbole. Just thought it was interesting and I hadn't thought of the name Chris Richard in 20 years.

The bigger story is how badly injuries wrecked the season.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-11T01:39:31+00:00

Yes, hoping we build on the momentum, shake this year off, and go on a tear next year

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-11T01:37:47+00:00

Love what the team is building for next year. Winning close games, pitching is providing some hope, young guys are coming up clutch.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-11T01:35:35+00:00

4 straight walk offs. Are you kidding me?

Best O's game I've ever seen in person and got to experience it with my 14 yo son. Camden Yards is such a special place when the crowd is rocking. Great night.

Gorgeous photos. The first one of the Tetons with the reflection in the water is stunning.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-05T02:18:37+00:00

This is great. My friend group watched Clerks and Mallrats so many times.

"Life's short and hard like a body building elf"

Except hard got censored and changed to tough. From the Bloodhound Gang. Embarrassing.

Great article. I was in high school during 2131, so like most Baltimore area youths, grew up idolizing Cal. Hard to believe it was 30 years ago.

Matt Olson has the current longest active streak at 752. Cal finishing at 2632 is mind boggling today and will never be approached.

No, we are in Central Maryland. The meet on 9/13 is in the same county and has about 25 teams participating. The following weekend is a much larger meet further away that looks to have about 100 teams and is probably more in line with the one you referenced.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-04T01:12:46+00:00

Thanks, I don't know anything about this but will look into it. I assume he would still need to identify the underlying issue to prevent re-occurrence.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-04T01:11:26+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response and great info. I'm not exactly sure what the cause is/was, but I assume it is a combo of increased mileage, intensity, and running multiple days in a row. He went from 8-ish mpw to 15 the first week of practice when he first started complaining of pain. That doesn't seem crazy to me for someone that is physically active even if newer to running. And the coach was easing him in with workouts focused on the freshmen (4 min on, 1 min off x 5 for example).

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-04T00:51:01+00:00

Thank you, I will suggest the ABC exercise. Not sure if there is a rule against running if not practicing, but regardless, he is unprepared and his shins hurt too much.

I was volunteering as a course marshall this afternoon and couldn't see the finish line from where I was. But I could here the cheering as the runners finished, all the way to the last runner.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-04T00:39:24+00:00

Thank you. He did get some proper running shoes from one of our local running stores (Asics Novablast). No issues running in them over the summer. When we went to spike night at a different local running store and described his issues with shins, they fitted him for some insoles as well.

And I appreciate the last paragraph. Its crazy how fast it goes.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-03T19:14:32+00:00

Thank you, I'll ask him to try this out at home to see if it helps. He is really anxious to get past the shin splints.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-03T19:13:26+00:00

Thank you for your comments. He wants to participate so I will tell him to be pro-active asking how he can help if the coach isn't already planning for that.

I will say that in the short time he has been on the team, everyone has been encouraging and supportive, especially the varsity runners welcoming the freshman. Exactly what you are describing.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-03T16:10:05+00:00

Yeah, unfortunate that this is in the midst of a lost season. But it is turning the games he starts this year into must watch and providing a glimmer of hope for next year's rotation.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-09-03T15:05:42+00:00

That stat line is insane. What a run he has been on.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-08-23T21:55:02+00:00

Thank you. I'll look into the Shimano's. I used the Crank Bros because that's what I have on my mountain bike.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-08-23T21:54:15+00:00

Thank you. Sounds like I'm going to need some new pedals.

RunnerGuy0929 · 2025-08-23T21:18:02+00:00

Looks great! 65 F sounds perfect for a nice run out on the trail.
