I plan to tackle the 50 miler in 2012!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686396399794699689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461550032911307024.post-77999959567172810142011-08-22T10:18:00.375-05:002011-08-22T10:18:00.375-05:00I'm sorry, did you say 50 mile trail race?
D...I'm sorry, did you say 50 mile trail race? <br /><br />DO I understand this correctly? You are going to run 32 miles, then run 50 miles just four days later? I must be missing something, because that seems a tad psychotic. <br /><br />That is a heck of a present to yourself. You will rock it, of course!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837974906193121567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461550032911307024.post-29109333482561641252011-08-21T23:15:42.914-05:002011-08-21T23:15:42.914-05:00Love the idea!

If I see the finish line and know I had to go another mile, I'd cry! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771758178064698651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461550032911307024.post-22317675696837111852011-08-19T10:36:56.707-05:002011-08-19T10:36:56.707-05:00You know, when you get to be 56 you start thinking...You know, when you get to be 56 you start thinking yards instead of miles.... like<br />I think I will do 56 yards to the fridge for a beer...ONEHOURIRONMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618244547263041741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461550032911307024.post-10179302494618998082011-08-18T22:45:14.964-05:002011-08-18T22:45:14.964-05:00I'd run the extra mile before as well....I'd run the extra mile before as well....Patrick Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181637044657605057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461550032911307024.post-38686205725129285662011-08-18T21:22:26.698-05:002011-08-18T21:22:26.698-05:0032 miles is a LONG ways! But, you rock, so I know...32 miles is a LONG ways! But, you rock, so I know you'll do great. If it were me, I'd run a mile before, because the finish line won't really be the finish line at the end. Either way, I think it's a cool idea. Good luck!Matthew Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027593921011160323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6461550032911307024.post-84339681073838102982011-08-18T21:05:06.505-05:002011-08-18T21:05:06.505-05:00When I ran my 50K last year, my Garmin read over 3...When I ran my 50K last year, my Garmin read over 32 miles at the end. I think my travels to the aid stations, bathroom breaks, and general not in a straight line running, accounted for the extra mile, SO I would wait until the end and see if you really need that extra mile!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644588588023623372noreply@blogger.com
