    Lucky you....

     

     

    I will probably work up a huge appetite standing around holding the wife's stuff while she races.  Big grin

     

    But I am happy to do it.

      Still injured, so my list is filled with volunteering gigs and crewing.

       

      Saturday I'm running an aid station at the Chippewa Moraine 50K up in Northern WI.

      Running is dumb.

        Damn.

         

        I volunteered as well when I could not run.  It did not make me feel any better, but it did not make me feel any worse either.

         

        Is there a light at the end of the tunnel that is not attached to a train for you?

          good luck racers-

           

          Scotty- that race looks like fun.

            But I am happy to do it.  She's been on the IR long enough, and I'm on camera duty.

             

            My husband doesn't run at all, but he hasn't missed one of my races yet. He's my designated stuff holder and our unofficial official photographer. Smile

            Love the Half


              Running the University of Charleston Half Marathon this weekend.  Haven't decided whether to race it or do it as a marathon pace run.  Don't think it will be a PR even if I race it.

              Short term goal: 17:59 5K

              Mid term goal:  2:54:59 marathon

              Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life.  (I started running at age 45).

                I don't know.  I'll probably have to surrender to being a hobby jogger soon.  Or go find a new adductor tendon on the black market.

                 

                I'm not sure how volunteering is going to make me feel, but I owe the ultra community a lot.  I'm hoping to have fun!

                  You will, like anything else it is what you make of it.  I directed traffic at the parking garage at one of the events I volunteered, and had a blast!

                      MBC and I discussed this and we decided on The Republic!  Big grin

                       

                      Funny thing is we had the meal picked out before we actually signed up for the race. LOL
