I'm running across Idaho to help raise money for my March 2011 attempt to run across Chile.

I'm going to give tweeting a try too (I'm tweetless so far). Follow me at twitter.com/scottmcmurtrey - hopefully I can tweet some photos while I'm on the trail.
Have fun! Be safe! SMILE!

GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK! Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!!! have a great time and be safe out there.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on Saturday! Is that a dirt or pavement trail?
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna need a magnifying glass to find you on the map :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone. It's going to be quite the adventure, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThe weather forecast looks good - highs around 70, lows in the 40's. So I don't think I'll have to deal with too much heat.
@The Runner - the first 10 miles or so is on a gravel road, the next 73 miles is on pavement, and the final 10 miles is on a gravel path. I hope my knees are up for the challenge. :)
You're starting on my birthday which must mean you will do awesome! :) Wishing you lots of luck!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a blast!
ReplyDeleteEpic, enjoy the ride :]
ReplyDeleteGood luck and have a great week end.
ReplyDeleteCheck out this race for Sadie, tess is up for it :]

Special thanks to my sister Melanie, who will be in charge of posting the Race Day Tracker updates.

ReplyDeleteDad
Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWOW, WOW and WOW!!!! Hopefully you are sleeping soundly right now. Congrats seems so small in light of this accomplishment. You rock!
ReplyDeleteYou finished!! Good Job.
ReplyDeleteIt was a day to remember. Report and photos coming soon.
ReplyDeleteYay! You're so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! can't wait for the report.
ReplyDeleteNicely done, dude! Now you hafta run Idaho from north to south.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing adventure! Great stuff, love it.
ReplyDeleteOf course it is totally unreasonable to run across Idaho on your own, not even for a buckle. That's the core of ultra running. Reason does not come into it.
