Paul somehow decided that it would be a good idea to sign up for a 50 mile trail run/race. As the day of the race grew closer he was questioning his sanity but was commited. It turned out to be a great day for it- not too hot or cold and most of the snow had melted off the trails. He started at 5 am and ran/hiked for 11 and 1/2 hours. To most of us this does sound crazy but for the 250 people that do this race (many of them for years) they love it and come in at the finish line looking surprisingly happy. We missed Paul coming in because he finished in less time then he thought. I should have known he would overestimate but being the first time doing this race it was hard to know. Dang I was bummed we missed him though. By the time we got there he was recovering nicely and eating popsicles! He looked good and was walking well. The next day he said he actually felt better then he does after marathons. I don't understand it but I'm not a runner so I just say "Go Paul", just please don't think you need to do 100 miles.
With the Lamoreauxs. They have done it 4 years now! Good job guys!

Wow, he must be SuperMan! I admire people who do these kind of things but at the same time I have to ask the question, "Why?". :)
Wow, that is crazy! My feet are hurting just thinking about it!
