“In track (running) it is man against himself, the cruelest of all opponents. The other runners are not the real enemies. His adversary lies deep within him, in his ability, with brain and heart, to control and master himself and his emotions."

Lori writes on the Top 10 Kentucky Trail Races You Need to Sign Up For. I would add at least one, being the (un)Pleasant Hill Trail Runs at The Shaker Village in Harrodsburg which is a beautiful place to run.
The Yamacraw 50K, mentioned in Lori's post, is indeed a great race and by no means easy. here is my race report, even though the vert seems not that great as compared to other races. What it may lack in climbing it makes up with some difficult descents and awesome scenery. Later this year (October 14, 2017), as mentioned above, there is going to be a sister race called The No Business 100 (actually 103 miles) also starting in Sterns, KY and it should be a tough one.

The Lake Sonoma 50 Miler is this weekend. It is the last Golden Ticket race for Western States even though it is not a qualifying race for Western States. Here is a preview of the Men's Race and the Women's Race.
Probably not new to many of you but 2016 Women's Olympic marathon champion Jemima Sumgong failed her sample "A" test for EPO and if the "B" sample finals she will be banned for 4 years. What a mess this is as when this happens clean athletes get questioned if they have a good/great performance because of those that cheat.
The Nike Sub-2-Hour Marathon project will be ready to "stage" an attempt some time from May 6th thru 8th on a Formula One track in Monza, Italy. While it will be interesting to see the results it will still carry with it some many questions as it is not an official race so will not count for a WR. Have not heard who will be doing the drug testing pr if they will, would hope so with all the stuff going on today.
