    Lookin around today for a challenging hike and found this. It has piqued my interest, but I'm not a runner. I am a solid 3-4 MPH hiker, but I ain't pounded out 35 hours either. My biggest days are 24-27 miles depending on elevation gains.
    Hare Mountain 100

    What's the chances an old fat dude can get in shape for this in a couple months?

    Here's my first mile since grade school.

    Used to be in to running a couple years back. Usually ran 25k+ every week. Biggest event I've ever done was a half marathon so far.

    I'd like to take a crack at this one day:

    One of the ladies that works for the school board, her family started that death race.
    They sold it to a corporate entity some years ago. She still pre runs sections of the course each year to make sure its viable for the racers.
    It would certainly kill me.

    I'am not a runner any more .. I use to do the iron man
    Which went alittle something like this
    Oh S### ! my husband's home early .. so I would jump out bed .. grab my pants & shirt & boots ...put my paints on while try'n to get to the bedroom window & not get my willie caught in the zipper bail out the 2nd story window and high step through the rose garden while try'n not trip.. and get out range of a .38 and sight then run a 3 mile sprint through a obstacle course of ditchs & brush & backyards to the pot hole filled gravel parking lot of the fuel stop where my truck was ..
    I highly recommend comfortable boots & dark colored shirts if you choose to participate

    I said to her when I was gathering up my clothes .. " why didn't you tell me you was hitched ?
    She said .. I reckon cause you didn't ask me and knowing you it wouldn't mattered anyhow

    Funny how the man always gets his ### kicked but more often than not he probably has no idea she's married. She, however, DOES know that she's married.
