Holy Smokes it's quiet around here-everyone must be in the woods somewhere.... Got a few minutes here at work to quickly check-in and let you know I'm happy with my results at the VT100 Endurance Run. I finished in 20:50:17, my random time goal based on thinking that the VT100 course was about 2 hrs faster than the Iroquois Trails 100 was 21:30. There was a 55% completion rate I believe due to the heat-temps got into the 80's and it was humid, typical for VT in July. 265 runners started however only 153 finished in the 30 hr time limit. I placed 29th overall, 7th female and technically 2nd female master but they don't recognize that. First female master was Kami Semick (Northface runner) who was also first female overall-maybe they gave her both prizes. Some races double dip and some don't. I'm feeling good-no major issues. Couple blisters but nothing that slowed me down too much. I'm working on a race report. Jack did a good job crewing and pacing me. We're off to Ohio in two weeks for him to run in the Burning River 100. Hope everyone is well! Kelly

Hardcore girlfriend. Well done.

Focus. 1K repeats on the track are nice. Focusing my training on pace based running. Getting nice results from that. Gonna build my long runs back up again into the 20's. May look to hit another few 50K's and 50 milers and shoot for a 100 at the end of the year to finish the year out strong. Gotta maintain focus however.
Later. Oh, by the way, have a look at Uranus. It's a beautiful work of creation.

Is there life on Uranus?
They're called "schmeglins."
As far as getting looked at, Uranus has been extensively studied and photographed from a distance but never looked at close up. Who knows what interesting things exist on Uranus. The world may never know unless a trained crew of professionals go and check it out.
bwhahahahaha... so awesome.
