Indeed. Never thought I'd hear myself say the very same thing. I love running. Truth be told, I couldn't run this entire trail. Many portions were much too rough and "sketchy" if'n ya get my drift. Much too easy to "eat it" on some very rough basalt. I'm training for the Tough Mudder at Squaw Valley next month and the last thing I need is an injury.

Fuuuck yeah bro. Eat some chia seeds and you'll find yourself without stress or tiredness while you're exercising.

Thanks folks...Today I'll be running/hiking Mt. Tallac in Tahoe. 10 miles, starting elevation 6400ft, summit at 9750ft. Pretty excited about this one as the views from the summit are supposedly quite spectacular...

So this guy runs miles, lifts weights, eats healthy brags about it on a weed forum. Hmm.. kinda defeats your he-man super strength healthy image you're trying to live up to on the internets!

VTX - if you ever get up north during the 4th of July you should try this one.
What began as a bar bet ends up being an annual event that skins more than a few knees & elbows.

I grow organic. I don't smoke it. Sorry you feel humbled in my presence, but you'll get used to it.

This was one tough trail. No way to run it...much too rough, much too steep. Hiked it instead and the payoff at the summit was worth it. If anyone gets to Tahoe and has a hankering to see some spectacular views...this is the trail for you. But it is a tough one....here's a few shots...

And a portion of the trail (if you want to call it that) that was really steep and unstable...

But.. how do you know if its any good. :) people lie.
My wife (Seamaiden) smokes it. It's really a "joint" venture actually. She handles the horticulture, and I handle the systems (design, implementation, etc) and excavation (we just expanded our operation this year substantially and I do all the tractor work and such). Besides...if I catch people lying to me...I "disappear" them.
