I started running 100s a few years ago and they are amazing. The provide a wonderful opportunity to take a time-out from the everyday hustle and reflect on what's important – all while enjoying spectacular scenery and friendly people! The leadville 100 is only 15 days away!

Wow, incredible to think of that kind of human acheivement. I'm sure it must be a different mindset. I imagine that once you pass a certain threshold, the whole experience changes–potential for a great spiritual experience as well as a physical acheivement. You never know–you might find that “sweet spot” as a 100 miler someday.

You should do a 100 miler. There is something said for doing a ridiculously long race, regardless of pace. Much better than doing a bunch more 5+ hour marathons. Or work on you speed and break 4 hours. You are in no mans land now. jmho

Wow. I can't even imagine doing 100 miles all over the course of one weekend. Heck, if I had run half that much this week, I'd be in much better shape in the Gyminee challenge!

Dean Karnazes is awesome. I read his book before my first marathon. It makes your 26.2 seem somewhat insignificant, but in reality, anyone who gets off the couch and hits the road is doing something extraordinary. Kind of like people who start companies, no?
