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...

Which one? 

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....
