Good one - Nobody in my family understands why I run races knowing that I have no chance of winning whatsoever.

Nice miles!

Funny, my hubby doesn't get it either. Still, it beats sitting on a couch every Sat morn.

Thanks for the quote.

Forgot to mention, I found this obscure 12 hour race in AL. I don't know if it is close by but I thought I'd pass it on to you.

Yeah, I'm actually already signed up for the Delano 12 hour event. I've participated in it for the past couple of years, and it's a well put together race. The race directors are on the blog at schotz.fastrunningblog.com and jelmo.fastrunningblog.com

An event with a set time rather than a set distance is an interesting variation on the ultra, so if you're on the lookout for something a little different, I recommend the Delano 12.

I wish I would have found this sooner. I've signed up for a marathon the weekend beforehand. I don't think I can get the boss (hubby) to agree to 2 back to back travel races. Oh well, there is always next year.

It's worth doing, and there are distance-oriented events concurrently with the 12-hour; this year I think there are both 50-mile and 50k options (and I think it's the only certified 50-mile in the state), and if you can get past the possible monotony of running in circles for 12 hours (it's a 1-mile loop), the course is a very flat cinder path, so it could be a great place to shoot for a PR in the 50k, 50m, 100k, or all at the same time...
