<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> </p>

<p>Hey Roots!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are 4 of us who sent our registration forms yesterday - yikes!  What are the chances of us making it in on the wait list?</p>

 

[roots]

<p>It's race week!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For anyone still on the fence about stepping up to the 50k, this year we have an incentive award for finisher of the 50k ultra distance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Special thanks to katholeenie and her <a href="http://sherwoodinnpottery.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sherwood Inn Pottery</a> for the design of these gorgeous mugs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>See you there!</p>
<p> </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>
