I'm doing a 2 hr powerwalk this evening and going to do a long run Saturday night. Will be good to test all my night gear, as well as it being cooler can get in more miles. Supposed to be 8 hours, want to get in at least 5 laps of 7 miles each. Will be my longest training run and also my longest run ever, and doing it through the night I'll be tired as hell I am sure, but hey do what you gotta do!

Just got back from doing hills for the first time in 5 weeks, was great! At the end I got one of those 3 second runner's highs where everything just felt right. And people wonder why we run? Lol.
Also, throwing this out here in this thread than my own hoping to get a wider audience.
I'm debating on not doing the Cremator ultra in July, as doing some real training and thoughts on it I'm unsure if I can complete it and/or if I even want to do it. That doesn't mean I don't want to do an ultra though, so wondering if anyone has any suggestions of an ultra 50k-100mile in the July to September time frame. Maybe some of you guys have done some and can suggest something.
I've been looking at some but kind of don't want this race to cost me 3 grand in flying and hotels and car and such, ya know? I was thinking Run Rabbit Run would be epic to do, but even the 50 miler elevation profile is daunting to this Floridian.

July 12, 10km, 21Km, 30Km & 50km
this is in your time-window if interested. I'd be happy to do a 5/10k with you near the end [I go surfing near there]
These trails are a coastal jewel nestled between the Santa Cruz Mountains and foothills of Pacifica. It offers diverse coastal vegetation, year-round creeks, and a 150' waterfall. Enjoy views of meadows, eucalyptus groves, wildflowers , steep ridges and hillside grasslands. On clear days enjoy vistas of the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco and Marin County. The ocean provides cooler air for a fast, fun run through one of the most bio-diverse and pristine coastal parks in California.

July 12 is a bad weekend, I'll be in PA for a party.
So both of you are doing RRR 100? It looks like it is already sold out.
I think it would be a lot of fun to crew someone, as I've never done it. I keep meaning to volunteer for a race sometime but still haven't.
Wonder how much flights are out there. And hotels and car and such, ugh, prices add up so quick!

Thinking of doing this one as I've never run San Diego. Organizers claim it's an elite-focused race but I'm a little skeptical... http://usahalfmarathonsandiego.com/

So his plan is that you get injured and he takes your spot? That's awesome you'll know so many people there!
That does look nice, Steamboat looks like an awesome little town. What's easiest way to get there? Fly to Denver and drive?
Since you edited...yeah that 1k climb right in the middle is nothing, don't worry about it. :P I've honestly never been at a high elevation before so I don't know about that.

I'm on the fence about it, I can get direct round trip flights from Tampa to Denver for a whole $250, ugh. That's so cheap!
Would it be worth it going in a day or two early to see Denver and such? I dunno what all costs this could easily escalate to, haha.
Why must you tempt me with your beautiful small town!

Yeah that's a lot. Driving that much right before doing a 50 mile run? Geez. Lol. It is certainly an idea in my head right now, I looked and the race has 250 cap for 50milers and only at 124. So that is good.
If I could find another 50k-50m to do around July timeframe that would be cool to do as well. Keep me going through the summer to get to my late year races.
Also, I do Rabbit you do Javelina?

First time I've seen Chris be a mid-packer.
Nice job dude.

Yeah, but that's not a KOM...
