Last Thursday, you read about our adventure in the making, the “40 for 40.”

Each Tuesday, we will post a blog updating our progress from the previous week.

The most significant tidbit this week is that we registered for the Outrun 24-Hour Trail Race in Kirtland, Ohio on April 26th. I would like to add that it should say, April 26th AND 27th as running 8 hours into the NEXT day (or night as it will be… DARK) makes it 2 days in my opinion! It is official, we are insane!  How else can you explain why anyone would willingly sign up to run for 24 hours?  And to celebrate their birthday?  Why can’t we just drink margaritas like all of the other 40 somethings?

Anyway, we are all in training mode and I ran 25 miles this past week.  Not too shabby since I have been recovering from a back injury due to Samson, AKA Marley!

G, on the other hand ran 41 miles last week because she actually runs ultras on a regular basis and, I don’t know…trains.  G is hard core and she plans to run her 40 for 40 in way less than 24 hours. This is is a photo of G’s 15-mile mud run on Saturday.

Seriously?

Stay tuned, next week’s report is sure to be a doozie!
