Training for a 50 Mile Ultramarathon

So my dad somehow coaxed me into training for a 50 mile ultramarathon with him (now that he's 50).
Just wondering - is anyone interested in doing it with me? I'm in week 2 of the program currently, there are three shorter runs, usually T-W-Th followed by longer runs on the weekends (this weekend is 10 miles on Saturday, then 6 on Sunday).
Mileage bumps up by about 5 miles a week. So - any other distance runners, or anyone for that matter can feel free to add me :)
If you're interested in the training schedule, I can type up the whole thing, but it takes about 18 weeks, so that's a lot of typing if no one is interested.

    Hey - I signed up for my first as well. Doing the same pattern of T/W/R runs in the 4-6 mile range with longest run on Saturday, followed by a 5-mile run on Sunday. I'm scheduled to do 14 this Saturday.

    When is your race?
