    At least one! I'm an ultrarunner from the middle of the country, in recovery from the Ice Age Trail 50 mile. My next planned outing is the Superior Fall Trail Race (50 mile distance).

    My first few races did not go quite as well as I'd hoped and it's really taken the wind out of my sails. Ice Age in particular broke my heart. Currently struggling with really, REALLY enjoying not running. This year was gonna be a "big year," one where I created a long-range plan and committed to it. But a planned week off has now turned into a month (aided by an injury). I've had more time with my wife, with friends, going fishing, mushroom hunting, and just generally enjoying some downtime after several years of really dedicated running. It's hard to realize just how much the rest of one's life goes out the window when trying to make running a priority. I went out for a short (4 miles) jaunt this weekend and it felt like doing cocaine I enjoyed it so much, and yet, I'm still struggling to rekindle my motivation.

    So, long story short, yes, Tildes has a runner! Maybe even two.
