Where: Umstead – Bridge To Nowhere
When: 6:30 AM
Distance: Up to 20
Weather: Low 40s
Last long run for the 2008 Umstead Trail Marathon people
Great run this morning! Weather was fantastic for running. First time I had seen Rap Master since the EggNog-gate incident. KarenG8r is doing well with the foot. A few of the group were off competing or recuperating from competing – but still a solid crowd.

While we were rocking with SteveE (who promised to show at Umstead) Dr. Seuss was rocking in Tampa… with 3 minutes faster than last year. Nice!
I am in for 20 very slow miles in Umstead.

I appreciated all the encouragement from the milers and could feel your support during those last miles. I was happy to be 3 min faster than last year — but I was still 3 min away from breaking 4 hrs! I left it all out on there on the course though (almost literally true after my first GU!). I didn’t feel like eating much after that! I definitely won’t make 20 this weekend but I’ll see y’all soon. Y’all are the greatest!

I am in Kendal! I couldn’t let you tackle a 20 miler by yourself. I have been nursing a bad chest cold and haven’t been able to run for a week. So I am in for a nice slow easy 20 miler, if there is such a thing. I begin a nice week long vacation this Friday and need to relax with a grande fru-fru coffee afterwards.
Congrats Seuss! Rest up and we will see you soon.

I’m going to sneak out for a short easy run with you all as I’m finally feeling human again – but none of this 20-mile business
Kendal, I think I’ll be at the pool tonight, so move over and make some room for me!
Great job Dr. Suess!

Can’t make the Saturday run this week due to out-of-town commitments Saturday. I am planning on a soggy solo Sunday stumble (is that alliteration or assonance, I never can remember?) of the last “long” run before UTM, but it will be late morning before I begin. Good luck to all, and happy running!

Awesome job Dr. Seuss.
Good luck to Mitdog and Jeffrey this weekend at the Myrtle Beach Half.
I’m in for 10-12.

Hey Belkymd, you know only real men can drink frufru coffee. We will savor a scrumptiously satisfying sipping session in the name of fgump.
Mitdog & Youngstud show them what the Mitterling Milers are all about. HAVE FUN!
Stabu, thanks for swimming tonight. You are rocking. Next time we will bring bannans

Hi Boys and Girls-
I am in for a run at Umstead tomorrow morning. I’m plannming something more in the 10 mile range…but will be cheering the 20 milers on with some good mental vibes. See ya!
