Introducing #889 ...the newest member of the insane asylum! A club with the word maniac in it's name? That's Marc's kind of club!
I'll admit that back in July of 2006, I was nervous about running my first ultra. So Marc, having never raced much more than a 10k, nor run farther than 15 miles, willingly joined me. It was a peak experience. Since then he's been my biggest supporter, run a few ultras of his own, and stepped up to take my place too. It's been a joy having him along for the ride!
PS. He'd still never admit to being a runner.

Congrats to the first non-runner Maniac!
Welcome to the lunacy MM#889! I'm guessing your tag will be Cowboy.

Thanks for sharing about your first ultra experience, Sarah. My first ultra is one week away and you helped me feel not so worried! Question - had you ever eaten boiled potatoes on a run before your ultra? I haven't, and I love them, but was warned by some non-ultra runners to not eat anything during the race that I had not eaten during a training run. I do understand that, but I think it will take me longer than 7 hours to finish ZG and I know I'll be sick of clif blox before then and will want some real food!
Hope you continue to heal up.

Great idea. Done!
Giddy Up YOU non-running Cowboy, hate to see when u decide to call yourself a runner :-0
Congrats Marc, Well Done!!
Well now...I thought he was a maniac last year when he stepped up to the PCT 50 in your shoes (literally and figuratively). I'm glad it is now official!
congrats on the membership :)
Hey you don't have to be a runner to be a Maniac...pass my congrats to Marc the Cowboy!
Hey, what took him so long?? He was a Born Maniac to begin with. Welcome to the Club, where crazy feels normal:)
Do they allow non-runners in the Marathon Maniacs?:)
Well thankfully they see through all that let him join anyway. "Sure Marc, sure, you're not a runner, here's your number".
congrats!!
Congrats to Marc. Impressive that none of those races are less than 50K.
