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 =)

Zion Traverse

Squaw Peak 50 Mile

Speedgoat 50K

Quest For King's

Wasatch 100

Long-Term Running Goals:

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.

I'm officially in a funk.  Maybe it's because I'm not signed up for any races at the moment and don't have that goal to look forward to.  Or could it be because I'm getting divorced?  Whatever it is, I had no desire to get out for a long run over the weekend.  Really, the only reason I got out today was to do more scouting and I was forced to do some running.  The hunt ends tomorrow so who knows what I'll use to motivate myself after that's over.

Normally I don't rant about my personal life here, but it's taking it's toll on me at the moment.  Just gotta figure out a way to get through December then the new year should kick me in the pants and get me going again.

It's a beast my man, been there, might not seem like it now, but brighter skies ahead guaranteed. Sign up for the Antelope 50 and come out kick me and Jun's trash again.

I agree with Bryce on all accounts. I think I'll be signing up for the 50 too. We need to get all the guys together for a run soon.

Thanks guys. I realize things will only get better from here. Still trying to decide what I want to do out at the island in March. Debating between 50K, 50 Mile, and for some stupid reason I'm thinking about the 100. I'll decide in the next few weeks.

So sorry to hear....I wish there was something I could do to make things better. I have had three siblings go through divorces and a few friends. It is really difficult mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually! Hang in there, it gets better!
