Your run looks like fun!! And the honey was such a great idea.

Yeah, this whole taper thing is getting to me But I was getting tired of long runs, too. Can't win I think a 6-month marathon training program might be about a month too long for me.

Her 50K is in South Africa so I can't run with her, but I'm keeping my eyes open for something here. Actually I'm debating one in Virginia in December as well...that one should be flat and relatively easier, but I'd need permission to work at corporate for a week or two.

I need to pester you about those 24 hour races. Last time I did one we had a team but I'm sort of curious to find out if I could go it alone. Or at least a 12 hour option. I might PM you later!
