Why?

...because anyone can run an ultramarathon. You do not need to be crazy (although it helps!) or a genetic anomaly.

If you can run a 5k, you can run a half marathon. If you can run a half marathon, you can run a marathon. And if you can run a marathon, you can run an ultramarathon.

This is my journey as I start from scratch following an injury with a couch to 5k training program up through a 100 mile race.

PNG vs. New Toy

My new Gamin 310XT came to day. I tested it out on today's run and it is thankfully better than the 405. I am quite excited that it has a 20hour battery life and it can be turned off when you are not using it to save the battery. I set up the 4 available display screens with all those stats I so love/hate while I am running.

Unfortunately, my knee has been aching on and off since Tuesday's run... right about where the cyst is. Strangely, though, I didn't feel it while I was running today. Which brings up today's conundrum; do I try a cortisone shot now while I am low in mileage or do I wait and see? I want to keep it as healthy as possible for 2011 ultra season and the mountaineering in my future.
