Yes...8 marathons, zero ultras...but, I got the bug last year when I went to Umstead to pace Meri...well, before that, but that solidified it...

2 weeks and 5 days

But who's counting?

I'm trying to replicate race conditions, but my 30 yesterday was 70 degrees and race night is predicted to be 20....this might suck...

You can always channel you inner merigayle and pack your down parka to run the race in. I have sadly done that TWICE this year.

I'm really starting to get anxious...It's a long drive to Alcoa, TN, and the whole drive I'm going to be looking at the mileage watching how far 50 miles is....

Slow and steady. Those who are in a hurry at the start usually blow up before the end.
