But I just wanted to thank you for following through on your commitment to run Skyline. I've cornered a few guys into running it with me this year (also our first ultra) and we're getting a little nervous. Reading you helps.<br /><br />Thanks!Ahmed Pierstorffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10399246148875920716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643429007621218084.post-70013254287087868972008-10-06T19:09:00.000-07:002008-10-06T19:09:00.000-07:00That is so awesome that you did this!

I emptied a can of Hornet/Wasp killer on their nest (mwahahaha).<BR/><BR/>But exc. for the wasp part, now you've got me thinking twice about doing an ultra. That trail looks tough but beautiful.

For me the time would be an afterthought since this type of run is so FREAKING HARD. <BR/><BR/>WOW. You guys are tough as nails to push through after being stung multiple times! Unbelievable. Doing it with a friend seems the way to go -- even though you separated after awhile you were both still out there. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations!

I really want to get into trail running, but I think I'll try and find something of a smaller distance first!<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the yellow jackets.
