Jill, I've been bitten by the ultra-bug...more ultras to come. Maybe another one this year; 50 miler or a 100k. Doing the 100 miler again next March.

That's the Joel I know! Freakin' speed demon.
Now, if only I can get my mileage back up to my daily 13mi, we will all be in good standing. 10+ miles everyday since the race on Saturday, with one day off. Smart? No, of course not. I just want my 70-80 mile/week again.
10.10mi this morning with lots of pain in my right LCL, right ankle, and tenderness in my left knee. And snow, yes snow. Just the other day I was running in 60 degree weather and this morning I almost get frost-bite on my fingers...this NJ weather is getting old. Dave and Coryna, I know you sympathize.

Feeling a little under the weather last few days so last night was a nyquil night for me. I woke up this morning and looked out the window and saw the snow. Not sure if it was real or I was having a bad dream-nope it was real so i went back to sleep. :lol:

Yall can have this warm weather down here. Ill take the 30 degree running weather all day long. No snow though, just the cold.
I think our local weatherperson's have predicted a cold front to come through for next weekend. I find that humorous since they can't predict what happened yesterday, but I like it. Talladega 13.1 next Sunday morning.
18 miles tomorrow morning.
It might be just me, but Ive been wondering where our local running section babes have been.
Hope you are feeling better. If you have been absent for a bit, welcome back. If you havent, I need to pay more attention.

I had a hunch you might!
Then we really should call you Johnny Cash. (Was it Dave who said that at one point? I can't recall who made the comment.)

Yo Nick - don't you think you should take it easy if you still have pain everyday? Especially if you said there's another ultra in your not-too-distant future.
And I sympathize with the cold and snow as well here on Long Island. Ugh.

Getting back to big numbers, huh. Good luck!

I can't imagine what it must feel like to move so quickly over the pavement. I wish I could experience it. When it comes to racing, I know I'm only competing against my personal best, but it would be a real kick to see what it feels like to run so fast.

2 weeks ago 15 and 16 on 2 different saturdays went great with tons of hill work so Im looking forward to tomorrow, a half race next weekend and then 20. As you recall, I had to skip my 20 last attempt due to injury. Fingers crossed. This was the week that got my last time. Tuesday to be exact.
I feel the same way you do when Im in a race. I see all these people in Corral A that blow past me and I think, "Yep, ill see that guy with the blue shirt on in just a bit since he is going to burn out at that speed." only to never see them again. Im averaging 7-7:15 at this point in the race so you know those guys have to be smoking. I cant imagine a 6-6:30 mile time over 13.1. I know yall think im fast and maybe so, but I think im fast in our runners forum since the people that surround me in races smoke me. Ill tell you what Jill, you dont ever feel like your breath is going to calm down. It takes about 6 miles to settle in and just cruise.With that said, Im not the best runner and Im not going to win a race, so Ill take my resident title and wear it proudly.
EDIT: When mentioned to fmingo earlier about the babes not being present, just wanted to say that you have consistently been representing the females :wave:. Where is Erin? she alright?

Yeah ultra or nothin'...except Disney races of course!
I think it was Joel who dubbed me the Jonny Cash of our little group.

Jill, you are so right, but I am SO stubborn. I ran this morning with a knee brace and an ankle brace, and today was the best I have felt since the race. I'l def listen to my body though. There are so many ultras I want to race...you going to join me???
Oh, and I keep forgetting that you are in this area as well...I like the cold, but I'm just tired of it already. Darn tri-state.
