Race side effects?
« on: May 07, 2016, 05:15:23 PM »
Welp, it looks like I didn't learn my lesson and I'll be doing more ultras.  That wasn't really unexpected, especially since I'd hoped I'd like it.

What wasn't expected was my newfound addiction to Gin-Gins.

What about the rest of you?

No race report; not my jam. The best I can do is a semi-vague FB status.

It was cold, rainy, and awesome. I'm hooked.

DH used to be big time into ultras when they were not even popular.  He tried to make me like them.  Never did.  I finished my 50-miler and he said, next thing you will tell me you want to try a hundred miler.  I said, no way.  He made me write it down and put it on the fridge. My 50-miler was my last ultra.  He never understood why I did not want to do more ultras.

Congrats! I've only gone as far as 50K, but I've determined that it's far enough. I did 7 in 4 years. I am pretty sure I am skipping it this year though. I'm attempting to let my body take a bit of a break. I didn't want to miss one of my favorite races in ME though, so I signed up for the 25k and will run with a friend. That should be good enough, I hope.

I don't like gin gins, but I'm also not a ginger fan.

Gin gins and ginger chews give me a psychosomatic response of vomit because i only used to eat them when i was sick to my stomach at ultras :D

Welcome to the cult.
