Not a lot to report, because I'm tapering for my 50-mile trail race at Berryman. I'll drive down on Friday, and will be camping with fellow runners Hazel and Kyle in my Ultramobile Setup, near the start/finish line, again.
I had a great 11-mile trail run last Thursday night, with 5 of the Trail Nerds. We ran on the BuRP Parkway Trails, and crossed the Blue River 4 times and got our feet wet. Saturday we hit the same park again, this time with 10 Trail Nerds! Rick Mayo even made an appearance. I took Sunday off, I didn't run Monday, and will run 10 miles tonight in SM Park.
For the rest of my taper, I might run a little on Wednesday night, also. I will only lift weights today (before my run), and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I'll just be a total slacker, other than attending a Board Meeting for the Kansas City Track Club on Thursday night. After the race, we might break camp and find a motel to shower and sleep, on Saturday night. I would prefer not to, but Hazel has requested this. (I don't mind "showering" in the water faucet in the campground). We'll wing-it, depending upon Kyle's plans, etc. Sunday, we'll drive the 6-hours back to KC. Monday is Memorial Day, and I'll be volunteering at the finish line for a big local race for the Kansas City Track Club. Monday, I might brew some homebrew, also.

Homebrew = yum! : ) Sounds like a fun way to spend the holiday weekend. Good luck on your 50.
I'm with Hazel on the real shower! Have fun at the 50!

Thanks everybody! Think cool thoughts for me. It's supposed to be a record high-temp day, with lots of humidity on Saturday.
Ew, humidity and heat! But it's a race! Good luck on the race and enjoy those homebrews after, and I will be looking for the race report!
Good luck, Ben. Have a great race.
