Safe to say most of these would be better suited for the other thread

So, I tried my first 50 mile Ultra marathon today. Made 26.6 miles in about 6 hours. Temps never got above 35 degrees and had 3-4 inches of snow when we stepped off. My feet at my age just didn't have it. Was probably hypothermic when I stopped.

Damn it...
No shame in that…takes guts just to train hard enough

Far more than 99.9 percent will ever do. I never did a full marathon. A few half triathlons here and there. Can't imagine 50 miles.

Dude! What the HELL chases you 50 miles?!! Or even 26.6? At that point, just turn around and fight, man.

Much respect..at this point, every time I think that my fat ass should take up running to become less fat, my back and knees just laugh and say " try it, asshole" . I believe them.
 
At one month shy of my 51 birthday, It was motivation to get a little more active. My mildly flat feet did me in today.

I paced a buddy last month when he did his 10th one hundred miler. I did 20 miles over night with him without any training. (I had 2 weeks warning, literally).

Thanks for the support because I feel like I failed for not making it. I put it in perspective with age Temps and feet.
