Friday – MMTR 50 Miler and a Double

Hey RARE Athletes, tomorrow is a pretty big day for a few of our athletes.  Al and Mike are running the 30th Annual Mountain Masochist 50 Miler, started in 1983 the Mountain Masochist Trail Run has earned its reputation for being one of the “best trail races in the east.”  The course itself is a challenging combination of roads, jeep trails, and single track that can cause even the most experienced runner to breathe a sigh of relief at the finish line in Montebello, VA.

For Al, this is another feather in his cap of ultra marathons.  For Mike, the finish of the Mountain Masochist 50 miler will also complete the Lynchburg Ultra Series.  Now remember, this is the “Mike” who flat out told me 2 weeks after he started with RARE, that running this far was “stupid”.  Mike, we’re really happy that you are now stupid too!

Cori is running not one, but two marathons this weekend, Savannah and Raleigh. Stay hydrated, stay on top of your recovery and get some mobility in after Saturday’s run Cori. It would be totally awesome to have race reports from each of you after your runs!
