tonight's run was one that exemplifies quenton cassidy's 2-mile trial rule, i.e., you really don't know if a run is going well or not until after 2 miles.  i was very ready to bag it for the day after the first few minutes with a little twinge in my lower left leg, but...

So yet again I find myself looking ahead to an ultra with relatively little training.  The Delano 12 approaches, and I'm almost in good enough shape to run a 5k.

Come to think of it, I've only managed to be in decent shape for Delano once, and that year I was too dumb to only run for the prescribed 12 hours. (I just like to say I got a really good warmup that year...)

In any case, I was wondering if maybe some of you could tell me how an out-of-shape novice such as myself is supposed to run a 12-hour (or a 5k, for that matter).

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds.

-Thomas Gray
