Jaime, this is great.
The Buck Ridge Burn was moved to April 7th (from March)
Ironmaster's Challenge moved to April 28th (from May)
“Paralysis-to-50k” training plan is underway!
I can't keep up with these races moving on me. Thanks!
And is it just me or is PA exploding with trail events the last 3 years?
PA has always been a great Mt. Biking state, so now looks like it's translating into Trail Running. Ron Horn at Pretzel City sports definitely has something to do with it.
Just saw this one near Pittsburgh - 5-6 mile event plus 4, 8, and 12 hour events.

and http://www.uberendurancesports.com/Nakedbavarian.html in March
Thanks Jamie for the links.The naked Bavarian at Blue Marsh lake looks awesome! I love to run out there, just not sure if I will be healthy enough by then. But I can always dream!
I agree entirely. I am not running at all right now...hoping here very soon. I think about being able to do a slow 20 miles there in March. Probably not logical but I can dream at least. I love the trails around Blue Marsh.
Something else to keep in mind Jamie (being helpful enabler) Harrisburg Road runners and Don Hauke put on a fat ass 50 k in March in Perry County. If I remember correctly there was a shortcut around 20 miles so you could go back to the start, or else they usually need volunteers to help sweep, which is what I did last year for a 10 mile section. Hope you can get out running again!
