Most nutrients are received from food, though, in order to enhance my energy I am taking nutritional supplements. One of the best I have tried is Super Army Formula. It is available at amazon: h t t p ://www.amazon.com/Endurance-Testosterone-Military-Intraworkout-Supplement/dp/B00HN6JTSI/ref=sr_1_48?ie=UTF8&qid=1394122866&sr=8-48&keywords=military+grade. This product gives me incredible amount of energy and pushes me harder when I run. I see positive results in my endurance and strength.Viviannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-90940434435772986012014-01-08T13:00:38.236-05:002014-01-08T13:00:38.236-05:00The lack of nude cuddling was clearly our fatal er...The lack of nude cuddling was clearly our fatal error.<br /><br />2 people completed the 50k distance. 2.

Where can I sign up?? If I was in your situation on Saturday I would not have found any of it funny, but your recap of the day's events had me laughing. I think I would flip out if I asked a race volunteer which direction I was supposed to run and they told me either was fine, it doesn't matter. What the heck!? And then the guy Hunt who supposedly marked the course but then started asking y'all how much further. Did anything happen on Saturday that actually made sense? Oh yea, you did learn a valuable lesson about bad ideas and runner dudes in PT Cruisers.

As I specifically said in my post, I was afraid of being in the woods after dark in below freezing temperatures, as I was not dressed for that or confident in my ability to find my way back. I also specifically took time to note that I enjoyed meeting so many nice people, and to say that the weather, not the race itself, was what made my experience less than ideal.

At the very least, he should have arranged transportation for you guys when he returned to the barn. I would still be pissed about that. And the course markings.
