| Out with the crowns! |
We’ve had a wonderful warm and sunny break from the winter this weekend. The
3rd annual Sultan 50K took place yesterday. As always, we had a great time with a bunch fun-loving folks. Thanks to Mohammed for once again putting on this fantastic b-day run. The runners got to enjoy expansive views from many stretches along the route.

Congratulations to Scott, Mark and Adam for finishing in less than five hours. This is an impressive feat given the route’s 6000+ ft. of climbing. Reaching the cake turn-around in 2:13, I thought I’d be able to join them, but unfortunately ran out of steam, so I finished in 5:07, still a PR for the course.

After the run, a good bunch of us made our way to Jalapeno Fresh Grill in Marion. My folks, Lily and I enjoyed hosting
Naresh, "the crazy Indian guy in VFFs" Saturday evening. It’s indeed SUNday, the birds are singing and an afternoon run is on cue. Hopefully I’ll be able to get my weary body out of the classroom and on some good training runs more often this spring as the summer challenge draws near.

Thanks for letting me hang with you guys and for being a "tour guide" on the course. Your Carolinas' hospitality was most appreciated and enjoyed. Cheers - Jay from Utah
Jay, good work out there. Happy b-day! You were tearing it up! Come on back anytime.
Very nice Matt. Thanks for your hospitality. I really felt like being at home. What a great race. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great to meet you out there Saturday Matt! I'm seriously in awe of you guys that can hammer a course like that in such super-low times...look forward to seeing you again on some crazy fool run :)
