walking because of a gimpy left leg... and I just paid for another race registration.

cannot be in three places at one time.  DRAT!  They are moving the event to September 18-19 in 2010 and I am assuming the reason for that is weather related.

The scary thing is that the first price increase for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.northcoast24.org/docs/2010NC24Application.pdf">registration</a> is December 31,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello all. I&#39;m a former runner, now aspiring ultrawalker. I&#39;m coming into this with a wealth of knowledge regarding running training, and quickly
realizing that this is a completely different animal. I&#39;ve also noticed that there is a significant lack of information on ultrawalking on the web,
specifically in regards to training programs. I guess I&#39;m so used to utilizing a Daniels of Pfitz running program, and was surprised to see nothing of this
kind out there.

			<description><![CDATA[ <font size="5">Is there any benefit to doing speedwork while training for an ultramarathon?  In preparation for my ultramarathon on October 17, I have focused
on putting in a lot of mileage and have done no speedwork other than occasional tempo walks/runs.  If I should be doing speedwork, can you recommend some
workouts?  Thanks.  Dan</font> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This is a small, local race, put on by one of the running clubs. There is a lake with running paths and sidewalks circling it, adding up to almost exactly 5k
-- 3.16 miles to be precise.  I have a love-hate with this race. It&#39;s well-organized and the ultra community is small and a lot of fun to hang out with,
but the weather is brutal. One year we started an hour late because of thunderstorms moving through. The rest of the time it was incredibly hot and humid. The
next year it was still... ]]></description>

days - that&#39;s 35 - 50 miles per day for 6 days. We are hoping to raise $25,000 for our friend&#39;s treatment and living costs as he can&#39;t work, so we
REALLY need this to be a success.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone I almost didn&#39;t go - I had heard nothing from my team - I have not felt good for weeks ( probably through lack of walking of course) and it was
raining heavily when I woke up - the first time. After waking up a couple more times it seemed to be raining less.

Anyway I finally got myself into gear ( literally and metaphorically) and followed a small patch of blue to pick up more &quot;stuff&quot; I had left at this
office and finally got there about 11am

for the famed Across the Years, the multi-day race held every year over New Years.  Well, it has come to my attention that Across the Years has been cancelled.

I don&#39;t think I have ever been so disappointed.  It would have been my once in a blue moon chance to meet Ulli Kamm, the gentleman who maintains the

believe that is the secret to the great smooth taste of the coffee.  They also sponsor ultra events all over the world, sometimes running right through the
coffee plantations where the beans are grown and harvested.  They also support the communities and farms in those areas.

50K walk (31 miles).  Oh, I&#39;m crazy enough to do a full marathon. The distance doesn&#39;t scare me.  My wreckless training habits and malnourishment
aren&#39;t a factor either...  It just has to be worth it, to me, to overcome the guilt of excusing myself away from my caregiving duties at home.  I know I
would have enjoyed the OKC... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ok, so here is my take on your thoughts about Centurion walk.
<br>
<br>

<blockquote>
   I am also in the racewalk vs centurion dilemma.
  <br>
  <br>
  as I see it at this stage, it looks to me that walkers who achieved the Centurion are relatively fast racewalkers, from the poeple I know personaly and from
  tgheir questioning and reading their results, it seems that ability to racewalk 20 km in under 2H is about the cuttof point to be comfortable about
  centurion.
