| Introduction | I was having breakfast with a friend of mine a while back. As I shoved my face with my third donut, I announced: "well, it has finally happened, I have broken 200 pounds". He laughed and called me a few choice names and I decided that it was time for a change. About the same time I read "Born to Run" and started to get interested in extreme endurance sports like ultra marathons. I read about the horrors of the Hardrock 100 and I decided that I had to do it. I have basically no background as a runner. I played other sports as a kid but never really liked running. In the back of my mind I understood that this will probably be the most difficult endeavor that I have ever attempted. I figured that it would be valuable to chronicle my quest for the sneers and jeers of the public. I will give you info on cool trails to run, the progress of my training, reviews on great running gear, fantastic events that I run, and firsthand accounts of my general suffering. I hope you enjoy, this is my personal quest for ultra. |
