Well I didn't think I would run another Ultra until 2016 but I signed up for the RI Ultra on Nov. 8.
Run More!

Hard Drive Died but I'm Still Running
I couldn't write on the blog from my phone; Gmail didn't take my password.
I ran the Eversourse Hartford Marathon yesterday thinking I would make it a recovery run after running the VT50 less than 2 weeks ago. I felt OK to start but by mile 8 I felt strong. I took my time and started behind the 4:20 pacer. By mile 20 I had passed the 4:10 pacers and felt like I could keep pushing. I felt good at 23 and I was ready for the hill at 25; salt and nutrition good so far and only 2 porta-potty stops. Up over the hill and I knew I would have a BQ just a month after signing up for my 11th in a row! Finished in 4:04:52 shocked and surprised that I had recovered so well from Vermont.
My son Keith ran a 1:53 half with little training and a long of 6 miles. A great day for both of us.
Went home and worked in the yard for the remainder of the afternoon.
