I think I have read every race report you have written. <BR/><BR/>I ran my first two trail runs (a 21K and a 30K) at Pacifica, and Sacramento CA last month and had a blast. I feel drawn to the 50K, your report and advice gives me hope that I can train for and complete one of these. <BR/><BR/>I know everyone says it, but you are a true inspiration and I for one thank you. Thank you for helping me change my life from an overworking slug to an active, healthier person.RBRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193497073393160994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-51656034593519398592008-02-19T06:39:00.000-07:002008-02-19T06:39:00.000-07:00I know exactly what you are talking about with the...I know exactly what you are talking about with the coke.
