This will be my second year doing this, last year on a 4 man team. This year solo with no assistance. That means NO ONE can help me. Water, food, transportation, anything. This is the Last Annual Vol-State Run (or race). Its always been called that, and it will be again next year.

The fellow who runs this is Gary "Laz" Cantrell, Wartrace, TN. Quite a ledgend in the world of Ultra Running, and quite a character none the less. Here are some interviews regarding a race he puts on called the Barkely Marathons. Be sure to click on all the interactive stuff. This is not the race I am running.

Anyways, starting on Thursday norning, I will be running from The Mississippi River in KY to Sand Mountain GA. 314 miles. 500 Km. Not a real good way to track me unless you are on the Ultra List. But do me a favor, and think about me from time to time! If you are religious, prayers are welcome. This is a tough one...bout as tough as they come.
Peace, and dream big!
Mike
Edit: If you want to call me and encourage me (or just plain raz me, give me crap, etc) it would be great to hear human voices...256-dma-dmdd (after this thursday until??). I will post when I finish.
