Final Afton Fat Ass all nighter

Another sales blitz in the can, and another wiped out me. Luckily, I avoided the late nights and the host city entertaining.
....you might be an ultra runner if you opt out of the fun stuff because you know it will effect your training...

So, for those of you joining the all night fun tomrrow, here is the plan.

Start time 4pm.
1st loop - 3.5 hours
start second loop between 7:30 and 8pm.
the rest.....well.... look for the not in the back window of the 4 door white volvo parked in the visitors center parking lot.

no predictions.

I get to sleep in tomorrow.

For those of you coming, bring $1-$2 to pitch in for having to have a campsite to do this.

I am now off for an easy 6 miler.

So if I'm watching my husband drink beers while I drink water because I'm doing my 20 miler at 4:30 tomorrow morning, does that mean I'm an ultra runner and don't even know it?

Have fun tomorrow night.

Good luck out there, Matt! I'll be running a 10K Saturday morning and probably will join Adam at the RTA Saturday night.
