Anyone ever do an ultra??

Just wondering-I have a crazzy goal this year to do an ultra marathon, 50 miles. I have been reading up on it and looking at the training-its very do-able for me.

ANyone out there know about them? where one is in the southeast? ever do one??

Happy 2009 everyone-this is going to be a GREAT year!

There is Umstead in NC, I know there is 100miles...dunno about a 50 with that one!

There is an ultrarunning forum over at kickrunners.com

When you register put Tithers down as your referral. I am mod for the multisport forum there!

I heart that site!

I have thought about doing one but with the way I feel after a marathon, I can't imagine how I would go much farther.  There is a 24 hour race in New Hampshire.  I think that it is laps around a lake which is about 2.5 miles.  If I am not mistaken, you just go as far as you can in 24 hours.  Before I finished my first marathon, it was a goal.  Now - not so much.
