This was definitely a fun run. After a long, cold winter it was nice to just go out and crank out some miles with some friends. It’s amazing how a 50K just doesn’t seem like a long way any more. It’s not that it wasn’t tough – by sure it was. But the mental obstacles are completely gone. Blisters, hydration, eh?!

The wife’s race report sums it up rather nicely here:
