            Well, the 50 miler didn't scare me away, though I won't lie--I'd be pleased if it wasn't quite so hot for my next ultra.  Which is...

             

            9/22.  rgilbert, Hocking Hills Indian Run 60k,  Logan, OH.

            "When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem."

              Nice run -- in trying conditions.

               

               

                I was supposed to run my FIRST 24 this Saturday and on a whim I signed up for a 50k...just a measly 6 miles, or 10 above my other training runs to date. I'm either going to be inspired and motivated to do better, regardless of the outcome, or ...who knows, I'm not entirely sure. It's just a training run, no pace goal, I'm excited. Psycho wyco 50k trail run, kansas, july 14

                  you guys forgot to tell me how much fun a trail ultra would be!  I had a blast.  I've done marathons and vowed to never do another, and yet beyond 26 miles is all I can think about now. 


                  Imminent Catastrophe

                    Now I've gone and done it... 10/6 Rio Del Lago 100M Granite Bay, CA.

                    Cancel 10/6 St. George Marathon.

                    what a dumbass.

                    "Able to function despite imminent catastrophe"

                     "To obtain the air that angels breathe you must come to Tahoe"--Mark Twain

                    "The most common question from potential entrants is 'I do not know if I can do this' to which I usually answer, 'that's the whole point'.--Paul Charteris, Tarawera Ultramarathon RD.

                    Western States 100 June 2016

                      in my mind that's 70 miles of realizing what a dumb ass you are.  You must have a mind of steel, I'd see pixies I think.

                                I'm likely pushing my limits with two marathons, two 50k and two 50mi in six months since I had never run more than 26.2.
