Were not getting any...That's the spirit Scott. Were not getting any younger- forget the safe running. Watch the Prefontaine movie "Without Limits" before the race. That will inspire you not to go conservative. I feel more satisfaction from pursuing the ideal and failing miserably, than just going through the motions. Just make sure you accept the other possibility that you may walk some miles at the end. Nothing wrong with that. I'll definitely follow your progress and watch the results.<br />JerStay Verticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227232986210817496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407161930425985930.post-54888201334835753112013-10-19T18:05:54.996-07:002013-10-19T18:05:54.996-07:00I sent the last message before I found all of your...I sent the last message before I found all of your running exploits all over the internet. Very impressive! I am still built like a Kenyan, but hardly as fast. Working out as much as I can with three little boys. Time is my biggest enemy. I'm going to hit it hard this winter to lay down a good time at Boston. I had a good race there last year and ran really conservatively. I'm going to leave it all out there next year. Let me know when you're in Ohio and we can get together. You can contact me at scottyakubek@hotmail.com. Good to hear from you. Keep up the good work. Talk to you later.<br />ScottScott Yakubekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003295106876069226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407161930425985930.post-79655932308775946122013-10-19T16:43:42.806-07:002013-10-19T16:43:42.806-07:00YAK!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to hear from you. I just che...YAK!!!!!!!!!!!<br />Great to hear from you. I just checked your results on Ultrasignup and Google and you are doing really well with the Marathons and 50K's. Don't let the longer distances scare you. Just be really healthy, train on hills for strength, run slower and take care of the fueling. I've hurt worse in 50K's than some Hundreds. Are you still built like a Kenyan? I'll definitely contact you before we head back to Ohio, to do some running and hanging out. I've even thought about doing a race on a trip back home someday. If you ever want to come west, my wife and I direct some cool races here in McCall, Idaho. <br />Take care and keep running!<br />JerStay Verticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227232986210817496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1407161930425985930.post-14059654614258076702013-10-19T10:10:37.301-07:002013-10-19T10:10:37.301-07:00Jeremy, it's good to see you're doing well...Jeremy, it's good to see you're doing well. I was running with Tommy McNear this morning and he was talking about you. I said, "Hey, that guy was in my class in Salem!" Anyway, I had no idea you were into distance running. I have been into too for the last 10 years, but not quite to the extent you have been. I have completed 20 marathons and 2 50Ks. I'm running my third 50K in December but that's as far as I've gone. I think it's probably time to graduate to 50-miler. I haven't made the leap yet. The 100-miler is definitely on my radar. Anyway, I figured I would say hi. I live in Salem now. If you're ever back in the area and want to get together for a run, I'd love to catch up. - Scott YakubekScott Yakubekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003295106876069226noreply@blogger.com
