Back on the Blogging Wagon

So I ditched the blog for awhile and now I'm back. Here's the update: After injury I had a very mediocre Journey's Marathon, and struggled a lot mentally just to get through. The good news was that my left knee felt okay, the bad news was that the next week I experienced bad IT problems with the other knee and then was out for two weeks with what I strongly suspect was swine flu. IT band issues have only resolved in the past couple weeks and so I'm still questionable for Voyageur 50, am considering the Marquette 50 at the end of August, and am mostly focusing on building endurance and strength for my first 100, the Bear 100 at the end of September, for which I'm very excited. My plan is to fly out there on September 3rd and ride a bike to the Wasatch Mountains and camp/acclimatize for 3 weeks. Still need a crew, pacer, bike and campmates.

Evan - you don't have a clue who I am, but I got to your blog via a comment on Byron's blog.

Anyway, if you fancy it, I may be up for some pacing at Bear. Can't fully commit right now, but tentatively I can. Would love to check out the mountains in northern Utah. Looks like my kind of course, too!
