Temp. for New Pages

By the time "g" finished his 3rd lap around the lake (l.), he had run about 27 miles. Only four more (plus the baby lap) to go, he would quietly chant to himself. Of particular interest at this point is the fact that "g" hates to run multiple loops in a race. He'd always prefer a point to point course. Although Lake Waramaug was a beautiful course to run... there were a couple of problems. For example, it seemed harder to run each loop knowing that he'd be traveling past the same points four more times... about every 1.5 hours! This made the race seem endless! Another dilemma was the fact that the only port-a-johns were at the start/finish line, and because the lake was so built up there was hardly a nook or a cranny to take a private pee! On occasion, he would find some comfort in a construction site's port-a-john, or behind a tree when there didn't seem to be any oncoming traffic. Oh... the life of an ultra-runner!
