Anyone running Moab this weekend?
Should be fun. Perfect weather (again).
I think I may have pulled a hip-flexor yesterday. Really weird. I felt fine for my run, it was short, and felt fine after. Then ever since midnight, it's just killing me to even walk. |

My wife ran it last year and had a very good time. We will be skipping it this year though...good luck.

That was actually my first time leaving a really bad tip. Anyway, Moab's really hard to train for unless you really like running inside. I ran it a couple of years ago without training at all, thinking "I used to run--how hard can it be?". We camped the night before, my 8-month old was up all night because it was cold, so I took him for a long car road about 4 am. Made the mistake of getting a Sausage biscuit at the only place open that early--McD's--thinking it would be out of my system by the time I raced. No sleep + No training + Sausage biscuit = wanting to die as I fall across the finish line at a speedy 2:20. Trained a little better this year, but I absolutely hate the treadmill. Plus, I don't think Moab's a very fast course, despite what some people have told me. So far from my best, but it was a fun race. |

My plan is to fall in with the 4 hour group and see if I can keep up. If not, I'll just jog the thing and whatever time I come in at is what I get. I fully expect it to be my worst time ever. It's extremely difficult to train for a spring marathon. |

This is the second year I have put in and not drawn out. I wish they had a point system so you would have a better chance for every year you entered but did not get in.
