I only ever did the Capital City Marathon expecting it would be my one foray into distance running... Now here I am getting ready for my 10th race.<BR/><BR/>I used to say "never" when you and Eric tried to persuade me to consider an Ultra. But after so many 26.2 milers I guess you're right that it is not really that much more.<BR/><BR/>However, I've always been wary of off-road type trails... images in my head of me turning an ankle on a tree root or big rock. Anyway, I'm actually thinking about it. You and Eric have me thinking I could do it :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
