RRR 50
Heading out to Steamboat later today to race the Run Rabbit Run 50 miler this weekend. I'm still not feeling great, but I am feeling significantly better than I was a week ago. I've even had a couple runs this week which I would say I was feeling strong. We'll see how it all plays out. This is certainly the weakest I've felt going into a race in quite some time. A good strong run on Saturday could be just the thing to snap me out of this funk, but a really tough race could be hard on my mind and body. I think I am prepared for this though. I'm not expecting a lot and I have no intention of allowing this to be an outing which has a significant negative effect on me (physically or mentally). More or less I just see it as going out for a nice, scenic, and fun run in the mountains on Saturday morning. If I can keep this perspective I think it will be very easy to have a "successful" race, even if I don't feel as physically strong as I would like.

Oh yes, first do no harm. Hope you have an enjoyable race and go home feeling strong!
Fast, beautiful couse, and good beer at the finish. You'll have fun for sure.
Good luck brother.
Good luck - don't push yourself if you are not feeling well. Have a fun time and hope after this race you are feeling better.
Hope you get a good groove going and have a fun run!
Are you competitive? It seems like you run from a non-competitive state of mind and win races. Nice.
Have a great race man!!
Keep going and you are gonna own every course record in existence. LOL Love you Geoff!
