Oh, I can TOTALLY see why Brad is doing that! I think those kinds of epic runs are THE BEST!! And Brad has friends and family there, so he'll get support - it'll be GREAT!!

I decided to run across Iowa because I can't take time off work to run across the US. Plus, it's there so I figured I should try.
Sarah, I will not be running Diablo. I went for a short 8 mile trail run and my ITB was not happy on the downhills. I think it might be best if I sit this one out. I understand no refunds (that's how it works!), but if you could give my spot to someone else in case you sell-out, I won't be using it.
I'm going to stick to flat ground until I'm done with Iowa.

Hi all,
I'm about to register for the 50K, and was wondering if anyone from the peninsula or south bay would be willing to share a ride with me (I live in Menlo Park). I'm trying to avoid riding my motorcycle to the event, as I would expect a very painful ride home!
Thanks,
Greg

I dont recall any showers being there,bathrooms yes.I would love to wash off after but I may have to wait until I get home. 4 days to go.Knee feels great. I am worried(for no reason) that in the past two weeks I have pnly ran a handful of miles LITERALLY. A few 3 milers is all.Aw well adrenaline and confidence in my hill running will ge me through...i hope.Sorry eveyone I am having the nerves running though me.

Hello!
Searching for carpool/ride to Mt. Diablo from Davis. Will supply gas money, and as an incentive bananas. ;D
Best,
Natalie

There are lots of low water spigots near the start/finish, but the only showers are up at Juniper Campground - the aid station on the course - which is nearly an hour's drive from the s/f. So it's pretty easy to get cleaned up, but it won't be an actual hot shower.
See you all soon!!
