I have my 2nd 100 mile attempt this Saturday. I failed my first attempt, only making it to mile 76. Two things are different now, than before. I now have Eric, and his training. I'm getting excited.Eric, I hope I can do you and your training the proper justice it deserves by bringing home a finishers buckle. Thanks again for all you've done for me.My marathon coach and friend, Shaughn, rented me a GPS device from, www.myathletegps.com, for me that I will be wearing, and it allows anyone to be able to track them from a website. From the website, you should be able to see my location, speed, distance, and my elevation.My race starts Saturday at 6:00am. The device was supposed to have been configured to update every minute. Below are the links that you could go to and see my progress.You can bet that while I'm on this long trip, I will be thinking of Dustin doing his long journey. It's probably as close as I can get to fully comprehend the monument task Dustin has taken on.Link for web Browsers & iPhoneshttp://www.mapmyathlete.com/vemap.aspx?name=024096Link for PDA/Blackberry/Palmshttp://www.MapMyAthlete.com/pda.aspx?name=024096Note: Certain versions of the Blackberry browser do not work. You can download for free the Opera-mini browser on your blackberry at http://www.opera.com/mini/download.While I’m moving, there should be a blue arrow on the map. If/When I stop moving, a bullseye pattern will appear on the map (let’s hope there’s not too many of these).
25 hours!!! That is awesome. Now rest up. Stay active as that will really help with your recovery. Jumping in the pool a swimming around is a great way to loosen up. Go for a bike ride...anything to stay active while you rest the running legs. There is a tendency to get very tight after this race and staying active will help with this.

We just go back home a couple hours ago. In a few days when I've got more time, I'll send out a more detailed summary of everything. First, thank all of you all for the nice comments above.
I did finish my first 100 this weekend. 61 starters, 41 finishers, I finished 20th in 25:27. There's lots to share, but again, I'll do that later. It was tough, tougher than I ever thought, but thanks to Eric's plan and all the support I had from my family and friends, it's almost like there was no way I could fail.
My legs are still a little sore, and I probably won't be running for a few days. :) Other than that, things are going really good, and now it's time to get back into the real world with doing laundry, grocery shopping, etc.
Again, thank you all for your kind words and support.
