OK, since some of you bike people actually seem interested in this whole 50k running affair, I'll write up a little adventure story report.
Let me just say this: after the Headwind Double last year, I wasn't sure I wanted to repeat the experience. After the run on Saturday I was already thinking about when I could do another 50k. Sick, I know.
Edited: The mostly full report is now over in Adventure Stories: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=20336

Harrumpf !! I just figured out that you were in my neck of the woods for this run, with nary a hidey-ho.
(My guess is you wanted to keep a low profile on account of that rock-hard futon I stuck you on the last time you were out here

That's just wrong. Wrong!
I have done what, 9 doubles and a bunch of extra rides over 200 miles and NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING ever hurt as bad as even one of my marathons. Even the stupid 600k - I could WALK the next day. After any of my 4 marathons (no, I am not a fast learner) I was in PAIN - PAIN!!!. And I cannot even imagine a 50k. There is something WRONG with you.
Wrong.

A big dog interrupted what was supposed to be a 5k run. After having to walk for 5 minutes so as not to encourage the dog to chase me (it was already growling after I yelled at it) I took a shortcut for home, cutting the run short to 2 miles.
I wish people would control their dogs.

Now I'm inspired by Yellow's adventures!
Maybe I should go run with you in Utah sometime? Please?
Had a gentle 6 km this morning. WAAAAY overdressed for the weather (we had a few days of freezing temps and now that it's 6C I'm confused) but didn't run too fast because one of my running partners was not feeling too well, so it turned out okay. I think that if I ran in the summer I'd have to go naked, I don't understand how some of you guys do it!
Keep running!
