Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K.  Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =)

Just want to stay happy and healthy.  Bring on whatever that may entail!

Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

Crewed and paced the last 15 miles for Dorsimus at the Pony Express 50.  Lots of fun out there seeing friends and hanging out.  Matt did awesome and stayed strong finishing his first 50 miler.  Congrats to him!  The good news is that my leg seems to feeling better.  Didn't have any problems with it out there, so it looks like I'll slowly creep back into some training.

This is also the time of year I start thinking about races I'd like to do next year.  I'll definitely be putting in for Squaw Peak and Wasatch next year, but I'd also like to race something out of state at some point.  I'm also leaning toward training for a fast (for me) marathon in the spring.  Maybe Salt Lake?  I'm thinking the goal there would be to go sub-3.  Definitely doable if I'm willing to put in the effort.

Can't thank you enough for being out there man. You really helped me keep me going strong that last 15, and really pushed me hard that last mile - just the way to finish!

I'm excited to hear what your race plans are - I think Craig is considering Bighorn.

You could nail sub 3 for sure!

Good marathon goal.

Out of state? Thoughts on Big Horn or possibly Cascade Crest? I'm hoping to do Big Horn myself.

Dors - Thanks for inviting me to tag along and to run ya into the finish. I had a ton of fun out there.

Jun - Been thinking about Bighorn or TRT. Bighorn is two weeks after Squaw Peak, so it may be tough. Although, I'd have to seriously reconsider if we had a bunch of us there together. Could be another epic adventure.
