My countdown has reached 14 days!!!! Then 6 to 8 weeks out west. Worth every horrible helicopter parent there is....I'm gonna bug Chase when I get out to Denver. Woot!
When you going to Denver? I'm making a trip out west too. You're not doing that God forsaken Leadville Race are you? Never, never again for me.... Never... probably not!
No, I'm doing your OTHER favorite west coast race....W$ 100! Then Badwater again. I'll be out west for most of June and all of July. Let me know where you'll be and hopefully we can catch up for a run and some beers!
"You know what I call the guy who's DFL? A finisher!" Overhead at the back of the pack at Western States in 2009. It meant a lot more to me at the end than it did at mile 3 when I heard it.
"Hey were you DFL at Western States? So was I!" Some dude named Steve that I met at Umstead. He was DFL in 2006, I was DFL in 09.
Becky talking about the need for training partners, "It takes a village to run a 100-miler." June's reply, "Yeah, a village Idiot!" Priceless June Bug, priceless!
“We are not in a hurry anymore.” Roger to his crew as he entered Camp 10 Bear for the first time in the Vermont 100, Ouch! Darn evil doctors!
"Road Marathons Suck!" Words of wisdom from Professor ACG. Listen to him, he knows of what he speaks!
"It's slippery." From the dude lying on his back at the Alafia Trail 1/2, regarding the trail condition of the muddy downhill I was about to run. Thanks, now could you roll to the side.
"There is no Try, either Do or Do Not Do." Yoda. Ok, little man, that sounds like you have a Do-Do philosophy. There is no try may work for keeping the Dark Force at bay and saving an empire, but oh-great-wrinkled-one, we're talking about running 100 Miles. Now drop and give me 20, Mr. Jed-Eye!
To me, From an aid station volunteer at Ancient Oaks 100-mile trail run, "The difference is, You could do what I'm doing, I could never do what you are doing!"

I'm not sure which is more creepy: Alice Cooper in a red body suit, or life-sized Muppets.
Or getting paid for laying around all summer watching movies and reading Harry Potter. Yes Sah!
June and July, two great reasons to put up with more sh#t than your average pot-a-pottie sees in an average New York Marathon!
Poor thing. Hope your Summer includes a trip to the Boro.
