Thanks for the offer! I've got a pretty good plan; I've done three halfs and hang out with a bunch of runners, including my ultramarathon-addicted co-worker (dude is training for Leadville and is absolutely insane). I love running even though my little stump legs are definitely not built for distance running. Moving to a place where windchill is regularly -40 has not been kind of my training but I've been working the indoor track (even though it makes me feel like a fucking greyhound) and spin class while I wait for winter to end.

You sound like you have plenty of support! That's awesome. Ultrarunners are a rare breed and all of the ones I've known have been really cool people. Good luck and happy running :)

He is insanely cool, that is the only word for him, haha. I always think I'd love to do an ultra, then I re-read Born to Run and am like "Eh... Let's see how the regular marathon goes."
