Urrr...I've done a few ultras and I'm not running away from anything.  I love the ultra community who are, believe it or not, in many ways much more laid back than other running communities.  I also love that ultras are almost always trail runs.  I much prefer going the distance in a beautiful place than pounding the miles on the road.  Training did not take much more time than training for a marathon (assuming you are already in good long distance running shape).  The longest I ever do when training is 30 miles.  It really is all about the mental game.  Ultras don't take any more of a toll on my body than marathons.  I agreed to do my first while enjoying a beer with one of my running buddies. After my first, I was smitten and ended up doing 3 more.  [/quote]
