Dehydration is a major player in blisters. Look on Kevin Sayer's site for interesting reading.

Ray and I will definitely be there. My 12th year in a row Janice is and Patrick B. are going but is anyone else? It would be fun to meet some more GUTS people. I'm heading there by myself. Beth

Definitely plan on it being the bare minimum. Two aid stations of 40 miles ain't much. You can stash food on the course tour the night before. Gary will stop at several places along the way that are common stash points, but they're several miles apart. And keep in mind that the locals (raccoons, possums, drunk hillbillies) may get into your stash over night. Camelbak-type packs are popular. It can can really hot later in the day (not that you'll be out there nearly as long as I will), so don't wear black Crews are all over the place during the race, so if you're ever really in need there's almost always someone driving by who will ask if you need anything. Really brings out the good in folks. Well, except for the drunk hillbillies.

I'm in need of a podiatrist. The following are on my health plan. Can anyone recommend any of them? Please PM me with any negative reviews. I would prefer to see Julian or Peebles, but neither are on my health plan and I can't afford to go out of network.

Can't this year, but I'd love to simply because I love their attitude. For example, from their FAQ: 9. IF THE WEATHER IS BAD, WILL THE RACE BE CANCELED?
No. If you feel the conditions are dangerous, drive your car to Lawrence and enjoy the meal. I love it ;D

I'm sorry to report that those of you who finished the Pine Mountain 40 Mile Run on Sunday actually only ran 39.05 miles and you still owe me .95 miles I'll be down there running on Sunday, if you want to me to witness your additional mileage Of course those of you who ran extra mileage that day are exempt! Todd Henderson ran with his Forerunner 305 GPS and got some fantastic data. It's all online at: ---> Todd's Pine Mountain 40 Mile DataPS. Honey, I want a Garmen Forerunner 305 for Christmas

Thanks for rubbing it in. I'm already totally bummed that I can't run this race ... and then you have to go and get a really great finisher's prize. Dagnabit! That just about settles it. I need to go get a real job. Oh just shut up and HTFU ;D

I only did one race on the list, the Mt Mitchell Challenge, but it was enough for the 50 points needed for the shirt. Cool
