I lo...Amazing!!! What a freaking accomplishment. <br /><br />I love that it was broken up in four loops - I think that would be good mentally as opposed to running a 50 mile loop. <br /><br />Congratulations!!!MotherRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480934807525511994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045655099815041904.post-90086386254172518272012-11-10T12:04:23.236-05:002012-11-10T12:04:23.236-05:00Thanks Tina!!

I think I've commented before that it's from your blog I found my training calendar!<br /><br />You are correct; we had a drop bag at the school, which was home base (and where each loop started/finished). Then the 2 fuel stations in the woods filled in the gaps. I contemplated using a camelback pack but decided I'm much more comfortable carrying a bottle as I always do. That worked out just fine for me. Oh, and I just prefilled bottles of gatorade and left them in my drop box - that way I didn't have to fiddle around with filling, replacing caps, etc.<br /><br />I believe you've got an ultra in your future (though doesn't that race where you hurt your foot/ankle count as ultra distance?)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045655099815041904.post-87400624958763748962012-11-10T11:56:06.077-05:002012-11-10T11:56:06.077-05:00I'd like to run an ultra someday.

The question/answer section was really helpful. <br /><br />I guess you had the food you mentioned in drop bags. I didn't see you wearing a pack in the photos. <br /><br />Speaking of not being hungry afterwards, I'm not hungry after running marathons either. <br /><br />Congratulations on running so very, very far in a great time!

My only wish would've been to have run the course ahead of time. <br /><br />I'm sure Goofy will give you a good taste of "time on your feet", which is the motto of ultra training.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045655099815041904.post-81248579319787841532012-11-09T16:27:36.302-05:002012-11-09T16:27:36.302-05:00That is so incredibly awesome.

I'm glad I painted that picture because it was definitely not as scary as it sounds.<br /><br />I think for me, I'm such a slow eater in "real life" that it was immediately difficult to try to eat fast w/out making myself sick. It wasn't awful, but it definitely made me not want to eat. <br /><br />As much as I "know" you through your blog, I'm sure you & Kelly would rock an ultra :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045655099815041904.post-50395208976434862262012-11-09T15:25:45.916-05:002012-11-09T15:25:45.916-05:00Congratulations, Lisa!

I am so proud and impressed! 50 miles is absolutely amazing, and you made it sound not too scary!<br />I wonder why you were nauseous at the beginning? I sure am glad you were still able to keep food down. <br />And I absolutely love that you two ran the whole thing together. I'd love to run an ultra with Kelly one day! <br />Congratulations again!
