Description:

50 mile midnight fun run out and back (plus some) on the Macomb Orchard Trail. We'll start at 12:01 am on Saturday, June 2 in Richmond and follow the trail towards Rochester. MEET AT THE RICHMOND TRAILHEAD BY 11:30PM ON FRIDAY! Here's a map of the trail: http://www.orch...ardtrail.org/images/MOT%20Map%202009-w2.pdf This will be a "Fat Ass" run meaning no shirt, no medal, no entry fee, and little or no aid. We'll hopefully have a volunteer that will be a moving aid station throughout the night! We will also have shorter options for those of you who would like to join us but not for the full 50 miles! If you're interested in these shorter distance please let me know. Check back here regularly as I'll be adding details as I get them. The Macomb Orchard Trail is 23.5 miles long. To get us to 50 miles, we'll add 1.5 miles of the Clinton River Trail to each direction. Here's a map of the Clinton River Trail:http://www.clintonrivertrail.org/PDFs/CRTMap2008%20low%20res%20final.pdf We'll turn around at that first parking lot after crossing Dequindre. We will have our 2nd aid station set up there! read more

   Another 5K test run. Happy with my consistency and felt good the whole way. Took off 1:06 over the last week of test runs. We'll see what happens this Sunday during my first actual 5K race in 2.5 years!

   Another 5K test. Was going to be an easy 4-miler, but my legs (and lungs) wanted another workout. A little faster than two days ago, so I'm moving in the right direction in my need for speed. Note to self: Work out your core!

   Oh how I've missed 4-milers! Quick and easy run to test out my Hoka/Injinji setup that I'll probably end up using for the second 26.2 of the Blue Ridge Marathon Double this Saturday in Roanoke.

   I'm SOOOO looking forward to concentrating on the shorter stuff for the rest of the year...
