I came across your blog after searching "...Wow! I came across your blog after searching "Born to Run" on google and stumbled upon your interview w/Christopher McDougall. Seriously, I'm about to finish his book and find myself so inspired. I began to read your blog and saw you mentioned San Joaqin Hills and thought "wait a minute, this person who runs 100 miles can't be in Orange County?" Needless to say, you are in my backyard. I kind of look at these ultra-runners as mini idols...at least to me. Makes my marathons seems a bit too easy. Your Western States account gave me the chills- what an incredible accomplishment!Sydney Hunterhttp://www.shutupandrunwithit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318674573303332537.post-39110955587514331852009-07-10T08:33:19.093-07:002009-07-10T08:33:19.093-07:00Whoa...
