<p>My App was in the mail box this morning at 7:15 AM, waiting for a ride from the mail truck.</p>
<p>This will be my 2nd effort at LT's event.</p>
<p>Last time I was there it was still an FA.</p>
<p>Vince Rucci was running all the hills and I was dumb enough to follow.</p>
<p>Spring time in Ohio is always awesome after the thaw.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will have a cooler for afterward if anyone is thirsty.</p>
<p>Mostly IPAs, so if you want something light, BYO.</p>

<p>Random thoughts on the Fools Run.</p>
<p>Awesome Day to be out on the trail.</p>
<p>Blue Skies all around.</p>
<p>LT and his crew did a very nice job with the event.</p>
<p>Need to give thanks to Meredith for pulling/pushing me over 20+ miles.</p>
<p>Salt Run is a tough way to finish up a 50K.</p>
<p>Finishers Mugs are very nice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As always, the best part is sitting around with the post run buzz sharing the camaraderie with other individuals.</p>
<p>Nice Job LT.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p style="color:rgb(24,24,24);">Sorry if it's totally irrelevant but I was just wondering if people could do me a huge favor and please fill in a quick 2 minute questionnaire on the motivations for participation in long distance running. It is for a university thesis so it would be a huge help for the research.</p>

<p style="color:rgb(24,24,24);">I'm a student at Sheffield Hallam University and very much into ultra races. I've been working alongside RacingThePlanet, an ultra-marathon company based in Hong Kong. I have been out to there events in Iceland and the Gobi Desert and would highly recommend their 4Deserts events series.<br style="margin:0px;padding:0px;"><br style="margin:0px;padding:0px;">
The survey is looking for ultra runners. The current literature linked with participation and the motivations provide analytical views and studies on the concept of class/cultural/social and economic aspects related to running. <br style="margin:0px;padding:0px;"><br style="margin:0px;padding:0px;"><br style="margin:0px;padding:0px;"><a href="http://kwiksurveys.com/app/rendersurvey.asp?sid=ryy0vpj2jkr65yz326463&refer=" target="_blank">http://kwiksurveys.com/app/rendersurvey.asp?sid=ryy0vpj2jkr65yz326463&refer=</a></p>
