StumpJump 50K

Lance is off to Chattanooga to run his second 50K! He and another runner friend who is running the race tomorrow, Eric, left Auburn around 12:30. I will make sure and update tomorrow as soon as I hear from him. I'll be praying hard until I get the call that he is finished. For those of you unfamiliar with trail running (and I am very inexperienced) it's HARD. I can't do it, I get angry, but Lance loves it. You climb mountains and cross rivers and get really dirty. From what Lance has gathered, this should be an amazing race. Dean Karnazes who is an ultramarathon superstar will be running this race tomorrow morning, which is huge in itself. Maybe Lance can bring back some advice from Dean :)
I have a 20-22 miler planned for tomorrow morning and I am VERY excited. Training this time around has been the best yet. Everything has gone very smoothly so far and I feel amazing, I think Lance and I both are in the best shape of our lives. The weather should be perfect in the morning, which is the most exciting part of the whole run! I'm planning to wear my long sleeved Boston marathon shirt, I think I run better when I run in Boston attire :) Ok, maybe that is completely mental. Hopefully next time I post- we will have a new PR from Lance :)
