I know some still do the original route, to the top of Whitney, but not about turning around and going back to hell. I figured everyone would be so relieved to be out of the intense heat!<br /><br />And I loved all of your tunes on your playlist. It also made the reading experience even more enjoyable. I imagined myself out there on the road, listening to the tunes while running.

I LOVE your pictures, even the one of our hotel room... er.. medical HQ in Lone Pine. I hope you come back to work on medical again. And I am sure you will do the double one of these years. Sounds like a goal for 50. :)Lisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211264404643329514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614641499256174127.post-6445951669372639072009-07-22T20:15:38.855-06:002009-07-22T20:15:38.855-06:00Hi Rob, thanks for the comment! Next time you'...Hi Rob, thanks for the comment! Next time you're near ICU please stop by and say hello. I do remember meeting you in the sauna. There are all sorts of good resources out there to learn about ultras, and I'd be more than happy to point you in the direction of some good information. <br />Yes ultras are easier on the body to a point, but if you run too many you can easily run into fatigue problems. Like anything, moderation! <br />Hope to run into you again at work one of these days.Alene Gone Badhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887360033395271217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614641499256174127.post-10044783089776951962009-07-22T19:49:28.811-06:002009-07-22T19:49:28.811-06:00Hi Alene,

I work at PVH too and I remember you doing the race last year. Actually, we me briefly in the sauna at 24 Hour Fitness once when you were prepping for the race.<br /><br />I do marathons, but someday might attempt an ultra. A podiatrist ultra-runner I know said ultra running is probably actually easier on your body because you are usually running off road and much slower.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995493195300025080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614641499256174127.post-5755366022212805022009-07-22T14:54:59.499-06:002009-07-22T14:54:59.499-06:00Very nice.
