My schedule is pretty tentative but... Dubai (Jan), if I can set up the trip. That should be interesting. Jacksonville Marathon for Breast Cancer (Feb) Grandma's and hopefully Deadwood in June El Scorcho (I hope) NYC (I hope) I'd like to bag a few more states but haven't decided which ones yet. ...plus I'd like to do more trail runs, possibly a 50-miler. Antelope Island in March sounds intriguing.

Hawk, How was the Wild West? Heard a lot of good things. Think I have put together an ultra team. Should be good if the weather cooperates. DB

The Wild West was a lot of fun, looking back on it of course. We had a mixed ultra team. But if you’re looking to get a lot of sleep, well then the 12 person team is the one you want! Our team was very enthusiastic; as soon as our runner took off on their leg we would go to their half-way point to cheer them on and see if anything was needed. Then on to the next exchange. Once there the next runner would be in and out of the van getting ready, so not much sleep for anyone involved. Once that person took off the runner who had just finished had to stretch, get something to eat and put on warm clothes, then we were off to cheer on our runner. Maybe we did it wrong in the cheering part, but I can tell you that being out in the dark at 1 or 2 in the morning with nobody else around gets a bit lonely...so to come up on your van with your teammates out cheering you on, knowing how tired they are too, just gives you a boost. We were all friends to begin with but after that race the friendship has strengthened beyond belief. Afterwards we all voted that it was the hardest thing we had done to that point and decided we would never do it again. Last month I received an email from the team asking if anyone wanted to give the relay another shot! My wife and I mentioned that maybe we should take a break form the relay and maybe try to get into the Pike’s Peak Marathon, so far three of our six have said yes. Good luck and I look forward to hearing your experiences. One other thing…we found that after our third leg Lipton Instant Cup of Soup (chicken noodle for us) was the best food in the world!!!!!!!!! I have a Jet Boil used for camping that we took along.

Registered for ING Atlanta on March 30, 2008. I will run at least one more in the Autumn; Rhode Island Breakers if nothing else as RI is the closest state that I haven't run one in yet. Ideally, I'd like to do another ultramarathon next year too, but not sure what yet. I'll have a better idea in mid/late December.

St. Louis Marathon in April. It'll be my first, so I have to make sure I don't die before I sign up for another one. Sara

Miami, January 27th.

I might do Miami also! My company has an office in Davie, and I might get to go there on business the week of the 28th. I would just have to fly down a couple days early, and get some nice warm weather running in! Ah, I can just picture, running in a tank and shorts... I want them to finalize the trip details, so I know whether I can sign up or not (is there a chance it will fill up at all?)

I´ve registered for the Stockholm marathon at the of may. ...

I am so jealous. I haven't run the Marathon, but I did run the Midnatsloppet (Midnight Run) 10k in Stockholm a few years ago and it was sooooo great. It was late at night, not midnight as the name suggests, but 10pm or so, and we ran through the streets which were lined 5-deep with cheering, chanting, clapping spectators, even little kids were out there, the enthusiasm and energy were unbelievable. I couldn't understand what they were shouting because I don't speak Swedish, but it didn't matter. It remains one of my very best race memories and I still treasure the T-shirt. You WILL enjoy this race.

Rock 'N' Roll Arizona, 1/13/08 Maybe Diamond Valley Lake, 1/19/08 Carlsbad, 1/20/08 Sedona, 2/9/08 Spring and summer marathons are all just possibilities right now. I'm not scheduling that far ahead. MM #361

Will run Boston then pace a 3:20 group two weeks later and then NYC in the fall.
