I love the word "possible." You made me think today, what is "assured" and what is possible in my own "areas of focus?" Hmmm...very thoughtful post of few words. I like that.
Happy New Year!

Your training plan = you + an enormous back pack + a solar panel + a mid-sized cooler filled with beverages for me + a few thousand feet of elevation gain. Good to go.

The announcers in that vid are epic! Plus the guy doesn't even look like he is running hard. He disgusts me.

Hey, I'm new to your blog. I agree that sometimes the only part that feels good is getting the run accomplished. But for me, most of the time it's the run itself that I enjoy. I like pushing myself to work hard on something just because I want to, with no pressure from anybody else to do well, to try harder, etc. I run for me, so I enjoy the whole time.

2010-03-28T20:33:48.041-07:00

Seriously, we all know you will have to run backwards hopping on one leg just to go slow enough to stay with me, but you still have to do it. And carry a portable refrigerator for my drinks...

2010-03-26T14:12:11.035-07:00

Yea, and I think that he is planning on you to get him up and down a few tough stretches. Glad to hear that you are still "in."

2010-01-26T09:45:38.291-08:00

I prefer Man vs Food.

Also, shouldn't it be like 12310 minute run? or maybe 1232010? I like the idea, but it means a twelve hour run for me. I prefer twelve minutes.

2010-01-12T21:22:41.919-08:00

Oh ya! Can't wait!

I'll toss in a couple of hill workouts just to be sure. And I'll be practicing my 30 milers while wearing a backpack full of mountain dew 2 liters so I can refill Ace's camelback mid-run.

Ace, you don't count as one of those people once you sign up for a 100 mile mountain run...

I hope that you are including training for an insane run up and down mountains in your plans. We definitely need you!!

That is some serious snow - good for you getting out in it. If we got that much here in VA, the roads wouldn't be open for a week.

2009-10-31T15:15:41.163-07:00

Yes, let's just try for next year! Yes on the Ryan Hall thing too...I've touched his hand twice, yes twice, and he's just a regular guy who wouldn't let me take his picture. By writing that, I hope he wins and let's me take his picture next time.
Can't wait to watch the race tomorrow!

2009-10-28T10:59:43.632-07:00

Ok, I'm new to running (my first 5K is on Sunday) so I have nothing to contribute other than.."Thanks for being an inspiration to me."

Post-marathon pain, yeah about that. It stinks. Thats all I have to say about that.

2009-10-26T21:41:28.472-07:00

I've just given up running for seven days after every marathon or ultra. I'm older and it's just not worth it. I will walk or do yoga. However, I do come back strong and I've done two maratons back to back this year so I think I did the recovery thing in the right way...for me anyway! Hope your pain goes away quickly!

@Ace Well, based on the single half-marathon I ran...

2009-10-26T20:59:31.559-07:00

@Ace
Well, based on the single half-marathon I ran (bad experience), I would be better off falling asleep than starting too fast at the beginning...
That's all I could think about, was the pain and suffering that was waiting for me if I started too fast. I think it's really easy to start too fast when running a distance that you haven't ever run before, cause at least for me, mid-race I try and talk myself into believing that I am THAT fast, and then it turns ugly when I am wrong.

@Meg Runs
Thanks! But ya, you never know when that breakout, best shape of your life race time will come! If there is anything I know about running, it's that at the most unexpected times, Runners do the Darndest things...or something like that...regardless, run on!
