2 Days till the Wild Wild West 50k

On Saturday, 8 adventurers take off for different conquests. Brian, Bob, Jim and I will tackle the Wild Wild West 50k, the Frog and the Moose will also take on parts of those trails. Donn and Ko head up North to run the Miwok 100k. There will be many stories to tell after this weekend. It has been an exciting month to say the least. I never thought that I could complete 3 ultras in the span of 6 weeks. This weekend will be a fun run with friends, no focus on time, just on pure enjoyment.

Today is Brian's 30th birthday and as of today, he is officially signed up for his first 100 miler. It is hard for me to wait until next year to tackle mine, but I have to remember that everyone's bodies are different. Not listening to mine has gotten me into trouble in the past. So I will cross my fingers and save my 100 mile virginity for Western States, if he will have me.

Last week, I began writing for a website called 'Planet Ultramarathon.' I report on USA ultra news as well as featuring an ultrarunner of the week. This was part of Brian's birthday present:
