Humans were made to run - LONG!

This is an audio story from NPR leading up to the NYC Marathon about how and why we were made to run long distances. Good for your body and brain. (As if we didn't know that!)

Just one of those mornings.... I volunteered to work a 100 miler this weekend. I am sitting at my desk wondering why I have to sit here and earn a living and can't be training on the trails right now. Hard to focus after a great weekend.

Thanks all for the comments but when I saw your comments to RW I missed it was me, so I updated with my name to make it easier for me.

Jenny as to just the beginning - I do like the distance and would like to do a 100 mile event but that is still way beyond my comprehension.

Tommy - working an aid station will get you hooked, maybe not for a 100 but for sure a 50 will seem like a good idea.
Quadrathon - I had your podcast queued up (and a few more) to get me through but as it turned out I never listened to any podcasts. I had folks around me almost the whole time which was weird since there were only 30-40 50 milers and another 100 doing other races scattered over a 16 mile loop.

Nice going RW. Very exciting. Beware...50 miles is just the beginning :-)

Great job RW...heading over to read the report right now.

I'm still benched working the pool right now!

Good job RunWesty. I've done an Ultra50k and have one more on the books. I hope to make a 50miler next. I'm working the Pinhoti 100 miler in Alabama this weekend and hope that motivates me. YeeHaw.

Just finished my first 50 miler. I took it slow and had a blast. If you want to read my race report here it is: Surf the Murph 2009 and if you want to see a few pictures and a bit of race trivia, here is the link to that report

Gnaw Bone is a real possibility for me. I divide my time between Boise, Idaho, and Chicago (mostly in Boise). But it looks like it's just south of Indy, so about a 4.5 hour drive from Chicago. Haven't decided if I'm doing the 50M or 50K yet. Planning to attempt the 100M again in February at Rocky Raccoon. If I do the DWD in Michigan, I'll probably do the 50K. I'm crewing for a friend in the RAAM (bike race) in June, so I'll be cutting back on my miles in June. (Race is 3000 miles 12 days). I like the Boned and Burned combo.

I would love to join you for at least the Gnawbone race, it's a few miles from where I grew up. I need to do a race in Indiana to add to my 50 state thing and it's either DWD or Tecumseh. Actually when I think about it I could do the Michigan one too.
