Hey Lori, that's sounds great, I'm really looking forward to it.  Assuming I survive The Rut! :)

Thank You so much Lori! I am pumped and ready to go :) I used to run, but stopped (minimal invasive back surgery) and then never gotten back to it. So I went from size medium to large, to XL and XXL. Last year I saw myself on photos at my mom's birthday and I was like "OMG what happened?" Back home, I started brisk walking every day. Then I got my hands on Born To Run and had the exact same thought: "100 miles, Leadville, why not?" Most interestingly I could always see myself running there and never doubted once that I won't get it. I am all for challenges myself and just looked up the Moab 240 – looks amazing! Just the nature alone seems worth the effort. I definitely will be cheering for you in October!

Leadville will be my first 100 miler and I totally trust Eric and my training. So far he has worked miracles; less than 7 months ago I wasn't even able to run a quarter mile and Sunday I am off to my very first marathon. Getting to Leadville before the race could, but may not happen. However, I did book a room a week before the start, so at least I'd be able get acclimated a few days before the race. Most likely I will have tons of questions, from wildlife, over trail markers, to river crossings, how to get shoes dry and which ones to wear and many more. Of course I am always interested what made you go out and run 100 miles.

Now that your a media star do I need an appointment to talk to you or do I need to speak to your people first. :-}

Thanks, Lori! Hope your training for Speedgoat is going well. I looked at the ascent profile for the course...wow!  11,000ft!

Lori your support and encouragement means a lot, I'm no where near your lofty heights, but one day .. you never know, thanks again.
