Of course you don't get to go to sleep as we all get to run all of the way through the night. What a way to have your first night trail run. Start at 9:00pm on Friday night and 42 miles later it is daylight on Saturday morning, then you can make use of your BEST BLOOD blanket!!!Rick Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067293157750460416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800420884990454133.post-70827422807873477272010-04-01T11:31:40.188-04:002010-04-01T11:31:40.188-04:00frank you are right!

( it's good you snap me back into reality! keep doing that!) <br /> haha -- truly blessed to have yall. can NOT wait until the night run next week!

You are so focused and strong out there, you just bounced right back. I could not keep up with you on those climbs last night. I'm lucky to have such a great running buddy who will push me out there and who makes me want to be a better runner and who saw a runner in me in the first place :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663151468825683348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800420884990454133.post-461726468779291062010-04-01T08:21:42.432-04:002010-04-01T08:21:42.432-04:00You are getting the hang of this.

Be a bit easier on yourself and enjoy the ride. You ran an awesome race. You have one ultra in all snow and this race had a little skiff up high. I can almost promise you that your next ultra will have no snow. You are going strong and learning as you go, just like we all have done before you. In fact, we all keep learning everytime we go out. We all had such a great time. Terrapin is certainly one of my favorites. Congratulations on an excellent run and a new PR.
