Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it, and to bear an injustice without wanting to get even.

To my fellow Aquarian & coffee drinker,
I wished you luck in your daily check-in yesterday, but wasn't sure if you were going to see it. Good luck, Carole!! I hope you have a great race!

RE: I DID IT!!
Lynn....thank you so much for remembering...
...that was sweet...
Thanks to all of you.....Pinky, I hope the movie turned out good!!
The details...OMG!!!! I did finish and the weather was beautiful, even the course was too. I was fine til about 20 miles....and yes Jes...I do think I heard you girls.....and yes dmd...I think trails are AWESOME!! Anyway...there was this steep, rocky hill after 20 that went almost a mile up...I have never trained on anything like it...WOW!! So I do think the last 11 miles were mostly uphill...or I am just whining....my quads burned out about that time so running was tough, but with the great support at the aid (water, ice!! and goodies) stations I plugged along. Took some advil about 26 miles and that helped the muscles a bit. My DH was waiting at the finish and I even had some energy left to push...didn't want the woman behind my to pass at that point, hate getting beat in the ending chute. I figured somewhere between 6 and 7 hours...so I finished in 6:55. I met alot of very nice people and had a great time!! No running tomorrow though...DUH...x( , hoping I can walk.... :+ ...Carole

RE: I DID IT!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Sounds like an awesome run, and it's great that you finished within your projected time. I only run short races (5 and 10K's) but I also HATE it when I get passed in the chute. I can't believe you had energy left to push after running for nearly seven hours. That's amazing.
Take a well deserved rest and make sure your DH looks after you today.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Can't wait to see pics!

RE: I DID IT!!
Carole, what an accomplishment! It's only 3/13 & many people are just coming out from under their comforters & you've knocked off a marathon & a 50K! Wow!
Laughed about the Advil. My hiking buddies are true addicts.
What's next?? I'm sure you'll be checking calendars as you let your body recover.

RE: I DID IT!!
Carole, you are an inspiration! I just decided to take a week off after 4 solid weeks of HC, and here you are running on trails for over 6 hours... That is awesome!
The movie was okay. My son complained it was a bit long, but I think it was enough time to keep him from jumping off our couches and trying to land head first onto his trampoline. I guess you can say my own marathon is repeatedly running after him to keep him from killing himself.
Have a good rest,
Pinky

RE: I DID IT!!
Thanks so much....
Shelley...I did start with 5 and 10K's myself, but after my 1st marathon in 1997, I fell in love with distance and although 50K's are longer than marathons they seem to be alot more fun...
Debbie...I think I should have taken some rock climbing lessons!! WOW!
Debra...what's next?....well I have a friend that wants to do a 50K in Ashland Oregon in July, so we will see how well I recover!! Yes advil is my best friend!
Pinky...you are sweet...thanks. And 4 weeks of Hardcore is not easy, you deserve a rest. I can only imagine chasing after that little guy is very tiring. I be he got his energy from his Mommy!
Well, the legs are sore today and I will do some stretching and take it easy.......Carole
