Not even sure if that makes sense, but here I am! Anyway, I'm interested in how the CrossFit and CFEndurance goes for you. I'm wondering if training for a 50k (and up) can also be accomplished while doing CF and CFE. I'm hoping to get 5 run days in while training for a 50k in Feb, then a 50-miler in the summer, then 100-miler next October. Is it possible to do CFE in the mornings and run in the evenings or is that too much? Any advise for people who've never done CF/E but are intrigued :) Hey, I stumbled onto your blog from a blog-of-a-blog friend (I can’t remember exactly but do subscribe to you rss!)

I've been thinking about it, but haven't written it down yet. So here goes: Mt. Cheaha 50K - hopefully we'll be down there again to visit my folks in Gulf Shores in February. And, hopefully the kid's winter break falls on the same weekend as Cheaha. If not, we probably won't be running Mt. Cheaha :-( Chippewa Moraine 50K Runnin' in the Ruff 10K (MN state trail running championship race) Superior Trail 50K (possibly Ice Age 50, but probably Superior) Would love to do San Juan Solstice 50 mile in June, but probably won't get out to CO for it... Afton 50K (maybe) Voyageur 50 mile (definitely) Superior 50 mile (possibly Moose Mtn. Marathon instead) Bear 100! (my qualifier so I can apply for Hardrock the following year and the Bear is an awesome race!) Wild Duluth 50K and 100K (directing this race - the first annual and it should be fun!)
