For anyone that is interested, I've posted a very brief preview of this Sunday's Caumsett Park 50k race on my blog.<br><br><a href="http://runawayblog1.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://runawayblog1.blogspot.com/</a><br><br>
Enjoy.

Thanks for your insight!

Thanks for the preview, Anthony. Into the washing machine we go! If you want a preview of TNF course on Sunday, it'll have to be verbal--and you'll have to keep my tired, slow pace while I pontificate.

 

[divaleh]

Ooooh....pontification. I like it. Sounds dirty <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

Anthony --I don't know about the race but your blog is great and does provide some motivation for running in circles on a windy, forsaken piece of LI! Loved the map, and the historical description, and your own race description -from an artistic point of view, well designed and fun to read <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif">

 

[AnthonyP]

Thanks a lot. I've been working on it a lot. I'm hoping that it becomes a motivational, inpirational, and educational blog, filled with gear reviews, race previews/reviews/reports, and, of course, info about my own running experiences.<br><br>
Despite the monotony of the Caumsett course, I very much enjoy the event (and all of the NY Ultrarunning Series events) simply because our little community here in NY is so much fun. I can't wait to write previews of Sybil and Greenbelt.<br><br>
See ya soon !

Anthony is putting my blog to shame <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

 

[divaleh]

Anthony - I didn't even know NY <i>had</i> an ultra community. I can't begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to meeting all of you.<br><br>
I hope the cool kids like me.

 

[merigayle]

<br>
I already like you, does that count? <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> Even though i am not a NY cool kid <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

Oh my....we have a great group of people out here. Check out this link : <a href="http://www.newyorkultrarunning.org/" target="_blank">http://www.newyorkultrarunning.org/</a><br><br>
The NY Ultrarunning Grand Prix Series is great (7 events).

<br>
Sorry, no pontification, as the race is family friendly.<br><br>
Actually, no pontification since I'm bagging the Bear Mountain run on Saturday to focus on the Sunday race.<br><br>
Oh, and because my ride home is really fast, and he needs to get back to the city quick, so no lollygagging on my part.

 

[divaleh]

Not going to even comment on what lollygagging sounds like.<br><br>
See you Sunday!

 

[beardobees]

<br>
Yeah, I'd hate to get caught lollygagging in the Caumsett Park public toilets on Sunday between loops.<br><br>
BTW, say hello if you see me. I pretty much look like I do in my avatar photo, but I won't be wearing a tie, and I've mended the hole in my crotch (I will, of course, be wearing jeans for the race).

 

[divaleh]

I certainly will - I look like my avatar as well, slightly more in focus and in Technicolor. Actually, I'll switch over to a normal photo, for easier recognition.<br><br>
Chances are, I will also be the shortest girl there.

 

[beardobees]

That guy is actually much better looking than I am, so I replaced my avatar with bona fide photo of myself.

 

[divaleh]

Well, to be perfectly truthful, I will most likely look nothing like my avatar. After lunch I will replace with a winter running photo.

here's a pic of me and stacie <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"><br><br><img alt="" src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a290/merigayle/IMG_1181.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

 

[divaleh]

Is it sick that we're so cheerful? Considering what we were in the process of doing?<br><br>
Here's my favorite race photo:<br><img alt="" src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j153/divaleh/Running/TurkeyTrot.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
However, if the weather is fairly nice, I may look more like this:<br><img alt="" src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j153/divaleh/Running/manhalf2.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br><img alt="" src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j153/divaleh/Running/manhalf08.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
If, by chance, the weather does a complete freak out, I may even look like this:<br><img alt="" src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j153/divaleh/Running/IUmini.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">
