The real fun came on Friday.

With my Friday night/Saturday pacing run, all trianing is done for the Bear 100. Now its an easy taper for the next week and a half to the start line. After being at Wasatch, I am even more excited to run Bear. I gotta admit, a little more nervous too, 100 miles is along way and a long to time to be on the go.

Pretty big 9 days of running for me:

91 miles, 23,500 vert

Seriously unbelievable what Phil did. I have a huge amount of respect for that guy.

Good luck at the Bear, you'll do great. I wish I could come help pace, but it doesn't look like it is written in the stars. I'll be keeping an eye out for updates though.

Good luck at the Bear. You don't need to be nervous. 100 miles is a long way, but your ready.

Comparing your nervous comment this year with what you were saying last year before bear is night and day. You are so much less nervous sounding this year. You're going to do fantastic. Really looking forward to following along online.

Jun, yep Phil is part robot I think.

Yes, not quite as freaky this year now that I'm a seasoned vet with a whole two 100's under my belt. Ha! Thanks for the support, and yes in all seriousness, a little more calm this year.
