i've had my own "two-mile rule" for several years, but every now and then it takes quenton cassidy to remind me that you really can't tell how good or bad a run is going to be until you're over two miles in...

 

(...and tons of extra-special runner-bonus-points for catching the reference without google-ing it...)

How you doing, Nev? I survived my 12 hour ultra! Logged 50.184 miles. Feels pretty darn nice. I'm already planning for next year :D. I think I got the ultra bug. Two ultras in one month! Crazy!

I'm going to say once a runner. I haven't read Again to Carthage yet.

However, I wonder if an older, Quenton (say, 47 years old), would amend the two mile rule to 4 miles, for us old dudes.

we have a winner... 10^34 bonus points for our 47-y/o cassidy... (it is in once a runner, and i'm almost done reading again to carthage, which is a pretty good book in its own right...)

HC: i saw that you had run the 12-hour, and i'm setting aside a good time to read the report so i can fully grasp your cool new ultra-ness...
