Your goal is to see how many cheeseburger halves you can eat, how many times you can get passed by Serge (or Jonathan Savage, or whoever), how many times you can pee on a loop - ANYTHING but the mileage. That way lies doom.......take it from me, I'm not quite as old, stupid, and slow as you but I ain't no slouch either.... :)Tom Herbstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829146583696463704.post-67375052049490659722011-03-03T06:05:37.566-08:002011-03-03T06:05:37.566-08:00This post was a crack up, Frank!!! .."All you...This post was a crack up, Frank!!! .."All you have to do is average 3.3. miles and hour.

Wow, does that one hit home:)) <br /><br />Maybe you and I should have a virtual "race" to finish our first 100:))Psychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111613946462318300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829146583696463704.post-34365600099496966632011-03-01T04:34:43.350-08:002011-03-01T04:34:43.350-08:00Yes, you should believe me.

As far as race numbers, you could certainly be correct, but my big issue with numbers is I like to have a number that I can remember easily. When I come into an aid station, I like to be able to call out my number. Hopefully I remember it as my mind begins to get foggy later in a run. I hate 3 digit numbers as it takes too much of my limited brain power to remember it. Keep working on those long runs and walks and you will get through Umstead. By the way, #11 and # 44 are certainly easier to remember than #57.Rick Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067293157750460416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829146583696463704.post-11281502788337481692011-02-28T17:32:13.690-08:002011-02-28T17:32:13.690-08:00@Rick - I see you had race #57 in the Mount Mitche...@Rick - I see you had race #57 in the Mount Mitchell Challenge . . . and survived!

I imagine other people thought the Wright brothers stupid, but look what they did. Running a mountain 100 might be something that you can't do within normal race limits, but you can run 100 miles at Umstead. The race officials and volunteers at Umstead look at things differently. They are there to help you and get you through this thing. You have the desire or you would not have registered and paid that hard earned money, so keep telling yourself that you are going to get through this thing. Not just 50 miles, but the whole 100.Rick Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067293157750460416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829146583696463704.post-16427699450864451942011-02-28T08:10:01.950-08:002011-02-28T08:10:01.950-08:00And look at all the stupid people you've made ...And look at all the stupid people you've made runners out of (like me)!<br /><br />Maybe you're actually a genius with stupid tendencies. :o)Amber S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04820777902200770550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829146583696463704.post-61098478851595108592011-02-28T06:54:57.232-08:002011-02-28T06:54:57.232-08:00Would the usual statements of encouragement be mor...Would the usual statements of encouragement be more meaningful if we edited them as such?<br /><br />"You got this, <em>stupid!</em>"<br />"You can do it, <em>stupid!</em>"<br />"At least you tried, <em>stupid!</em>"<br /><br />;-)Tobias Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09717520650782636286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829146583696463704.post-3958035541524609062011-02-28T04:17:11.374-08:002011-02-28T04:17:11.374-08:00Frank, when you get there you will be inspired by ...Frank, when you get there you will be inspired by all the people that come and run Umstead.
