Ok.... :) You can pick from 25k, 50k, 100k or 100 mile distances. I can guarantee you that it will not sell out...lol. It is ranked as the second or third most difficult course on the East Coast. My brother and his running partner have registered for the 100 mile distance (only 16 registrants so far). I wanted to shoot for…

I am fully anticipating that it will kill me as well. A 40 hour cut-off is incredibly intimidating.

This is where my October race is being run...

Now you are talking like me. Potty mouth.

I want to see a video of you running with the boot. That would be effing hard core....

@Stoshew71 .... you are right about the long runs in ultra training programs. This is the 50k plan I am following and while it has a couple of long runs (two 24 miles and a 26), it has more of the longer back-to-backs on the weekends. The idea is to get you used to running on dead legs. Now for the 100 mile program, it…

Because we can. :)

I would never cut my long runs off at 2.5 hours.... doing my 50k trail race in May will have me on my feet for about 7 hours.... my October race has a 40 hour cut-off... so not doing anything over 2.5 hours isn't particularly helpful to me. I need those long "time on feet" runs of 5-7 hours to be prepared. I'm sure the 2.5…

My most recent purchase....

I can dazzle.

As my race season starts getting closer, my life is once again starting to look and feel like this... http://relentlessforwardcommotion.com/2015/11/what-its-really-like-to-train-for-an-ultra-marathon/

Been sick as dog for about nine days. Only managed 12.5 last week. Glad I pre-planned an "off week" into my training schedule.

Is it really too much to ask for at least ONE little pass with the plow? Kinda slowed me down this morning...

This is exactly why so people think runners are idiots. Normal people do not go "Oh, guess what? I fractured my leg but I still get to ride my bike and run 26 miles." I remember running a 30k trail race with stress fractures in both feet and wondering why my family was all worked up about it. For some reason runners don't…

Lol! That is more of a rite of passage than anything...

@Janet510 ... the only I advice I have for you is to listen to @Stoshew71

It was beautiful day to run yesterday... so I decided to log some miles and go do that hill... But when I got to the top, I realized I was in the middle of nowhere... #trailrunningwithoutatrail

I have discovered this cures nearly all of my ailments.

@shanaber and @Elise4270 ... and anyone else on my Friends list... I apologize for "unfriending" you without notice... I had reason to believe my account had been compromised.... #aintdivorcefun

@Stoshew71 talks about butt kicks... all I can relate to is....

Guess that's why we run. So people don't get hurt.

True. But then, just about everything makes me want to do that.

It was rather cold this morning for my run... sub-zero. Because it's a bit of a cut-back week, I only needed 6 this morning, but it felt like I couldn't enough air. I was half-way up a hill and all the oxygen in my lungs was like "K... bye."
