I ran the Darkside 8 Hour run on Saturday night. I know the loop thing doesn't do it for a lot of y'all, but I LOVED it! Going in to it, I was worried about being driven crazy by the 1/4 mile track. I'd done three 24-hour runs, but they were all on mile+ loops. I settled on a 4:1 strategy (run 4 loops/walk 1) and maintained that for almost 5 hours. After that I started getting sick...my body isn't used to being up and running 3:00 am! So I had to adjust the ratio a bit. Was able to pull through it, finishing with measly 34.5 miles. Not the distance I'd wanted, but it'll do. This was also my first time to run on a rubberized track. It was like running on carpet And how Scott talks his friends into sitting up all night and counting laps I'll never know...that HAD to be hard work! Overall, four thumbs up (<---obscure Simpsons reference)
