*****TWO RACE SERIES (plural) upcoming!!!!! ANNOUNCEMENT*****

I've been running more and brainstorming more only to come up with 2 race series. They are going to be DIRT cheap...pun definitely allowed there... I'll post them on ACTIVE.com once I get an official date.

They are recession-proof and a nice way to run three or more races for the price of one over-crowded roadrace where people stare at you if your clothes, shoes, and iPod don't all match perfectly.

FIRST SERIES: 
      A series including an ultra in Mid-March under $20, another early April under $20, and the final one probably May 14th. Various distances including 50k. 

SECOND SERIES:
     A 5k/10k/maybe15k series in the HOT month of JULY. It'll be a nice way to stay motivated in the intense heat without prolonged exposure. This series will feature 3 or more races for under $10 each.

EMAIL ME ANYTIME WITH QUESTIONS / COMMENTS / etc. :   WhatUltra@yahoo.com
Yes, my email is a question without a question mark.

RACE NEWS

BACK RIVER Trail Race has been cancelled due to costing too much. Sadly, it would have been several hundred dollars and probably 20 people would have run it. I think racing should be like any running-----CHEAP!

Stay tuned...

RESOLUTIONS, anyone?

Tis' the season for goal-setting!

Ok, so maybe "resolution" isn't the word for something that's not 100% RESOLVED, but what are your goals, ye ultra runner?!?!

Run a 50m, 100k, or 100 miler? Log a few thousand miles? Finish a butt-kickin' race? Raise $$$$$ for the hungry? Recruit a first-timer?

Whatever it is...GO GET 'EM! STOP BEING ALL CLEAN and WARM and INSIDER-ISH and GET DIIIIIRTY!
