I leave today for CO. I'll be zig-zagging across the country over the next three days and arriving in CO Thursday night. Saturday is the Imogene Pass Run and also the day I finally get to meet Erin, my running partner for the TransRockies Race who works at Gore Flagstaff. After that, I'll look for a bar on Sunday to watch the Eagles game, then spend the rest of the week relaxing and camping at altitude in preparation for the race. Hopefully, any ill effects due to altitude will have disappeared after my week of acclimation.
I'm not sure if I'll have an opportunity to make any entrees during my travels. Definitely not before the race. Maybe I'll have access during race week?
Over the weekend, I looked back at my training records for the summer. OMG! I can't believe what I pushed my body to do. I would have never thought that I could push myself this far. Not that I didn't respect those crazies who did ultras before, but I am even more impressed than ever. Prior to this summer, in training, I had only run more than 25 miles once in my entire life. This summer, I did it six times. Even more surprising, I had only run training runs of longer than 2:45 12 times and longer than 3:05 once. This summer, it was 16 times and 10 times! With three of those being over 4 hrs and 2 of them being over 5 hours. How did I do that?!
May the Force be with me.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
