Ok,
Can someone please diagram for me who is the sister of who(m) in this thread?
All I know is that whom is on first and that I will not be at Western States. But many of my friends are abandoning me this weekend because they will be.

No sister involved. (Well, I have a sister. She planned my first nephew's baptism for the day of Western States. Lucky for me, she supports my running.)
Why not come down for WS? You are on the West Coast, how bad can it be?

Four nights in the last week I have gotten 2 hours of sleep after coming home from work late, then having to wake up at 3:30 to get ready and get to the bar to open it up for the World Cup. Tonight will be another one of those.
I effed up badly and missed the date to register for the bus to take me back to the start where my car will be.
None of my drop bags are ready. I'm supposed to be doing that now.
Most importantly, this has been my worst running in a year, due to injury/laziness/work.
You know that bad nausea that comes during a race? It isn't waiting for the race. I'm not ready. Think they can postpone this thing a month?
Wrigler - when do you travel out there?
First flight Thurs morn. They have a lot of meetings and a health/weigh in thingy. They get serious about checking your weight at aid stations.
Looking forward to resting and light jogging on Thurs and Fri. Staying in Tahoe City. It should be pretty.

Sleep deprivation = good training.
Some stud will give you a lift back = bonus.
Drop bags = shmop bags
Worst year running = the pressure is off - go and enjoy it
Nausea happening now = good, get it out of the way before the race
You are all set.
Thanks, Purdey. One of the many reasons why I love you.
And, sorry. One of my many, many recent violations of Ultrarunning Rule #1: No complaining.
I'd stick with 5k's, but for some reason the only race that I did this year that was shorter than a marathon was the one that I freaked out about the MOST! (As you can imagine, it was ugly ).

this all seems very normal to me.

I did one last night. It sucked. I would stick with hundreds if I were you.

MTA: I couldn't remember your plans to return to Leadville. I put you in for 2011. No need to thank me.
