Thanks guys, well I will be eastward bound after work today. Leaving for Vermont at 6pm from Donna's in Normal. "Normal" now there is a word. "Normal" is running 200 miles through the Green Mountains in Vt? Man, I really should have just bought that fishing boat a few years back and "normal" would have a different meaning to me

It is very doable, a couple of 70 or 75 mile days and that will leave just a little 50 miler for the final day. Andy sent out an email letting us know that we will only have water at our 5 mile aid station and no HEED, the bears like it, that's nice!
There is cell service so I am planning on posting my status on my Facebook page, but probably only every 50 miles. Andy is not having a live webcast for this event.

Good luck Mike and Donna,
We'll all be thinking of you (most of us will be thinking...Boy, am I glad I'm not Mike!) this weekend.

Mike, On the one hand, most people who question their own sanity/normalcy are not in much danger of losing it: Quote:

If you ever needed an insanity defense in court, this would speak in your favor.

Have fun guys! Cheesy

Actually if next year will lean more towards the 500, that really sounds like a blast!!!

Awesome job!!! That is what makes ultras so addictive, when you beat your PR it is usually by HOURS
