Russian champion tries Crocs, commits to racing a marathon in them
Nikolay Chavkin in the video below did 3x1000,
first two in Adidas carbon-fiber models, the last one in Crocs. Surprised by the result (2:52, 2:52, 2:50) with
the fastest interval done in Crocs, he committed to racing a marathon in Crocs if the video gets 42K likes and
195 comments (for 42 km 195 m, the marathon distance). Nikolay's current marathon PR is 2:14:00. The video
was created by a Russian sporting goods store chain. Their moto is
"more sports - brighter life", which we think is wonderful, and also deserves a Like. If you want to see a fast marathon in Crocs, go to the video and click the Like button. And make sure to share it with your friends.

| | pm--7 Anasazi w/ a loop and Cholla. I went in the afternoon when it was supposedly 89 degrees. It didn't feel too bad. There was a breeze. I was thinking that, other than the vaccine for some loved ones, running in the dirt has brought more peace of mind during this pandemic than anything else. I'm grateful for health and where I live and an encouraging wife.

| | pm--7 Anasazi w/ Cholla. Little slower today due to what I think is a bruised rib due to an awkward fall in a wiffle ball game last night. There is some ache at the edge of inhale and exhale.

| | pm--5 Mustang Pass w/ Beattie, talking about teaching and college running. My ribs are still pretty achy. This will probably be the norm for a few weeks. Running a bit slower seems to help.

| | pm--6.5 Front half of the Rim Trails from the bottom. The vehicle access to the trailhead is closed, so I hoofed it from the road. I love the desert after a rain. Hit 4K of vert for the 2nd month in a row. Not going to lie, the quads were a little tired today.

| | pm--6.75 Anasazi w/Cholla via Fishhook. It was pretty hot--mid-90s--and my body is pretty beat after a somewhat stressful week at school.
