Maybe third time's a charm? I've been off and on with this blog and this is back to an "on" moment. It's partially due to being mentioned in my friend Laura's blog, so I hope to do it right.

Tapering has started this week for the Lookout Mountain 50 miler. Yes, my first ultramarathon. I'm a wicked excited. As always it's a constant teeter-totter between pushing hard enough and too hard. After a tough weekend of running (5 hours Saturday in the Uwharrie Moutains, 5 hours Sunday at Umstead) I'm battling some muscle tightness. Here's hoping it'll go away with the taper.
