    Nice job Tom! Guess all that training paid off. How are you holding up?

    Feeling fine today (just a bit sore in my quads), I just finished washing and vacuuming my car! Not what I expected at all, I was thinking I would be on crutches today. Guess all of the training and preparation paid off !

    Oh man -- I must start working out again... Feeling fine today? If I drove 100 miles I would be feeling it a day or two later.. You RAN 100 miles

    100 miles, as in running 1,760 football fields (just a bit of perspective)

    Congrats Tom!!!!! (glad your still with us )

    Congrats Tom, that's fantastic. I wish I had such drive and work ethic! I can only imagine how it felt to run that long, physically and mentally.

    Default Next one - 150 miler - longest ultra in the USA

    I was telling my wife how I had easily another 25 miles in me, and possibly another 50 miles in me if one of my family member's lives depended upon it. So what did I do tonight? Sign up for McNaughton Park 150 miler, the longest ultra in the U.S. A 21 yr old that I've run a few ultras with (including this past weekend's 100 miler) in the past 3 months said he was registered for it already and said I should give it a try too. I thought about it for about 5 minutes and said WHAT THE HECK! I'll tie it in with another fundraiser for the local food bank next year, I'll try to raise enough money for $150K (retail) of food this time.

    They have a 50 miler in case any of you would like to join me at it!

    Start training!
