Who is up for a Racing Weekly thread similar to other long distance forums?
All we need is:
At the end of the week one of the entrants will win the prize. The prize goes to the person who has done one hell of a HTFU race and in the view of the judges (at the moment my cat Oliver but he is looking for other volunteers) has excelled in some way.

Western States Masters Invitational
Davis, Ca.
1 mile race.
Goal: 5:15
-Kelly
(maybe if I am the only one racing one week I can win an 8 ball... Doing 1500s and 5ks pretty much makes it impossible compared to the long distance types... )
Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape...

Imminent Catastrophe
Well, if you want... sure... Saturday, June 10th Western States Masters Invitational Davis, Ca. 1 mile race. Goal: 5:15 -Kelly (maybe if I am the only one racing one week I can win an 8 ball... Doing 1500s and 5ks pretty much makes it impossible compared to the long distance types... )
I have never in my life run a mile in 5:15.
My next is the Devil Mountain Trail Half Marathon (I had planned the 50k but poop happened). My goal is to finish without re-injuring my foot which is still recovering.
Traveling halfway across the country for a HM might seem strange but I had planned to run the 50k, we already had reservations and time off work and besides, it's a nice time to get out of the hot, steamy South. A nice trail run in Colorado sounds pretty good right now.

Norm, I pinned it to the top of the forum but will happily add your epic <21 to the thread
Doh.
Glad it wasn't a snake or I would have never seen the bit. I'll post in there.
