I can't believe it's been a whole year since you posted the half marathon RR. I was impressed enough then with your cold weather barefoot performance and near-finish line smile, and now a full!
Ditching the foot warmers at the last possible second does seem to help in those temps.
Congrats on your race as well as the BFRunning race-day promotion of our sport.
Abide, I can swim but it is more of a controlled drowning and I don't ride a bike. Maybe someday when I have more time to train.
I plan to do an ultra but not sure about next weekend. I am waiting until the last minute to sign up.
Janine, its a Merrell tank and Bolero but I can't find them on their site anymore. I like that it has thumb holes and can be wrapped around my waist. I do like these too
I was already running long distances at the beginning of the summer. 20-23 miles and then had anemia that really cut into my training plan. I ran a marathon distance once before the actual race and then a couple 18 and 20 milers too.
I don't think I have the mental stamina to stick with a plan for that long
