I am racing at WS, sub 20 (19:58)hopefully and then take my chances at HR. I will be behind you at both but what a great story to tell. Do both, you won't regret it.

I haven't been able to run much yet(calf injury) so I am leaning towards just doing HR but there's alot of debating to be done in the next 5 mths for sure. I will probably drive myself crazy. <BR/>I would say- Race WS and do your best @ HR just to get out on the course.Hope you are well.Prudencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07873151770121013584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-7394011409737028952009-02-02T19:17:00.000-08:002009-02-02T19:17:00.000-08:00I think, as usual, I like Hal's advice the best. ...I think, as usual, I like Hal's advice the best.

But, if you do want to run Hardrock before your hips wear out and you're still competitive you're probably going to have to run it in a year you've run Western States.<BR/><BR/>So, I say go for it!Craig Thornleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078058470943851119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-87639447971628851652009-02-01T22:52:00.000-08:002009-02-01T22:52:00.000-08:00looks like we're both pondering the same thing her...looks like we're both pondering the same thing here.
