Somehow...somwhere, I plan to get back to running ultras this year.

Work & illness got in the way of 2012's best laid plans, so I'm hoping to get something epic, something memorable, &/or something of note done by the time the year's up. Besides the vaguery of saying that I'll "train more"...here's what's up....

-Participate in NY Fat Ass

-Judo at least twice a week

-Fastpack something more than 2 days long

Just got my brand spankin' new November copy of Utrarunning magazine & it is chock full of our own Club members.

It's a little like playing Where's Waldo every month as I scan the results for familiar names, but this month we were treated to a whole'nother level.

For those who prefer to play find-it-for-themselves, then stop reading here, because here come the spoilers...

1-Mike Wardas wrote a one page article on Plain 100...complete with a photo of him.

I've been trying to hammer out a race report, but as usual, it's going to be as long as the event for which it's written.....so far I'm thinking that it'll be 6 or 7 pages.

I know, I know...another Shogun.

For those who've asked for immediate gratification (albeit 3 weeks late), here's the Reader's Digest version:

The weather was stellar.

Logistically, it was more like a Fat Ass event...I had to supply my own grub (I never realized the close similarity that an aid station has to a Superbowl party until the Safeway clerk pointed it out).

Well...I did it....I signed up for the 24 hour Relay at Swangard Stadium this coming June 14th & 15th. With a little help from 95 Crave FM, I managed to secure an entry into this event for a great cause. I've always wondered about running in a 24 hour event, but the thought of circling the same 400m track like a hamster has always been the proverbial "line-in-the-sand" as far as protecting my (limited) sanity went. This event gives a bit more variety in that it covers a 4.5km stretch of pathway, track, & trail...it's also pretty darn close to home.

Ok, here it goes...

I, Glenn Pace, being of (relatively) sound mind & (sorta) body bring forward the attached action items for the year 2006:

Stretch no fewer than 5 nights a week.
