I was thrilled to be able to volunteer at the Speedgoat 50k tunnel aid station again this year. I saw many many familiar faces out there. I am inspired by every single person who ran. This is such an amazingly difficult course. I can't even fathom how tough it must be. Of course, I'm thinking about signing up next year. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisXqLPCoLFF0MB0t2_eoX0__4KxW6p676r8ndzwc2eqoX1wD3Eq2rGIOlO0UJ73KL9VQDcKiDP7njKF3X8lX6BniLeO5hMWDV6OdLUgDKwoDL_vS7YdvV0zhsawlhhRU8WizxWD_Zm5W0/s1600/P7192549.JPG)
