| Nov. 18, 2008 Wanted to get out and do a short easy run. This is my first run since the race. My feet are still healing. Did a slow 32:52. It was great to get out and run. |
Mother Road 100 - II - Nov. 8, 2008
Here are a few pictures from the race.
 |
What does it take to run 100 miles?
A lot of training, tons of planning, and even more |
 |
| I had to work Friday night. So we loaded the truck
at 11pm and headed out for western Oklahoma. I slept in the backseat while Jo Ann and Brian drove the 4 hour trip to Elk City. |
 |
| My sweet wife, with very little sleep, got up early
Saturday morning to get me ready. I could not have done this without her help. |
 |
| Just minutes before the start. A little sleepy before starting the race. |
 |
| My son Brian who did a GREAT job of pacing and
taking care of his Dad. |
 |
| Some of the pacers who kept me going at night.
Patty Powell, Emily Preddy. (Not shown Jason McGinnis) |
 |
| Beth Burnett, me, Chris Cordt, and my son Brian |
 Brian carried my water belt during the last 10 miles. Here I am grabbing a bottle. I'm pretty wiped out at this point. |
 |
| Crossing the Finish Line! |
| Now is the time to turn away. The following image
is not something you will enjoy seeing. |
| You have been warned............. |
| Toe blister at the finish line. |
 |
It wasn't the as fast as I had planned,
but the bottom
line is I finished. Time for a new challenge. Something
a bit more healthy.
