First 100 miler (Read 449 times)


who knows...

    Thanks for posting the link Rick! Carl is also a member of this group (I believe) .


    Thanks for posting those Lynn. Amanda will be running the first loop with me and helping crew me a bit.


    Looks like my body did my planning for me. I caught dh's head cold. Got a run in yesterday however I will take at least today if not the next two days off from running.  Pumping myself with lots of Vitamin C & D in hopes of kicking this thing fast. We shall see. 


    WOW it's almost time



     

    Good luck! I would have said I scheduled runs the week of similar to what Dennis posted, however, with a cold the best thing is certainly rest.

      Pam, I hope your cold's feeling better. Like others have said, I think the downtime could help you this weekend.

      Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.

        Count down to Pam's 100-miler!!!  You go, girl!!

             Thanks! It's getting better. Not 100 % but there's hope. Anyway I agree that it's probably helping me. My body has  a way of pulling this stuff when it feels the need to rest and it knows I won't lol.

            Oh and thanks SprTb!

                  I was getting the countdown going!

                   

                  So, 9!

                   

                   Friday night I'm probably going to be camping at the start with my family. It's looking good for my wife and boys to be there for just about the whole weekend.

                  Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.

                            Depending on circumstances, I may go out and pace a runner through a final leg, but I'm not racing this one, just co-directing.

                             

                            Thanks, Lynn and Leslie, for the well-wishes!

                              Pam - you'll rock the house. Prior to my first marathon someone sent me a link to a message that someone had posted for someone else and it really pumped me up. My buddy knew knew I was worried and a little intimidated (I was worried that I had not trained hard enough), so I pass on the message:

                               -

                               .

                              Best of luck - Trey
