Chuckanut is THIS weekend!
I'm really excited for the event this year! There are 337 registered runners. Bib numbers are assigned, porta potties are ordered, the trail is marked, the race goodie bags are stuffed and many more little details that go into pulling together an event are falling into place. One thing that amazes me about pulling this race together is the fantastic help I receive from friends and family and the NW ultrarunning community. This is my 5th year as RD of the race and every single year without fail my Mom, Dad, Portia (best friend since 7th grade!), founder of the race Doug McKeever and many others have helped me in the weeks leading up to and on race day. Local running stores Fairhaven Runners and Seattle Running Company host the goodie bag pickup. Sponsors donate great goodie bag fillers and prizes for the random drawing at the finish line. On race day volunteers come out of the woodwork to make the event what it is. It is a lot of work, but ends up being a fun day filled with tons of positive energy. There are so many rewarding moments as an RD; watching the volunteers take care of each runner, seeing friends and family out to support their loved ones and cheering in runners as they come across the finish line exhausted and elated from their accomplishment. Results and race report will be posted on the race website.

Krissy, see you in a few days! Hope your family makes that famous meal after:)
I would definitely say there is reward in being an RD! Have a great race day!!
Hey Krissy did you see the article in the Bellingham Herald online today? Yay!! (I've linked to it in my bloggy). See ya!
Have you thought about inviting Alysun Deckert to run this race. She ran for Kansas State University and she is a awesome runner. She is super fast! She is a joy to watch. I know that she lives in Seattle and I wish that she ran ultra's.
Not to point out the obvious but this is a very well-advertised race especially in the Seattle area, more so even in the Seattle Running Company area with which Alysun is quite familiar. She and all other super fast runners know they are automatically "invited" and don't need to be asked to join in for super fast times!
That is great!
Once again ... great race Krissy! Your mom's the greatest!!! Loved the veggie crisp.

Awesome race, Krissy, thanks!!!
Hey Krissy,
I met you at the Croom 50 miler last year in FL. Are you planning to race this year? You gave me some great words of encouragement as you blasted by me around the 30 mile marker. I see you haven't slowed down a bit since then;) Keep it up!!
Best regards

As you are likely already aware, the internets exploded yesterday with what is apparently leaked details from the friends and family alpha of Wrath of the Lich King.wholesalechina wholesaleMP4 playerpsp accessoriesArguably the biggest part of this news was that we apparently have access to very early versions of the new talent trees for several of the existing classes.Mens outerweardropshipconsumer electronicsgadgets Being the responsible, conscientious Mage columnist that I am,mp4 watchesmp5wholesale electronicsbluetooth headsetI immediately pored over the Mage talent trees,devouring this very premature,discountMP3 player more than likely never-to-see-the-light-of-day info like a starving man would tear into a steak.Of course,wedding dresseswedding dresswholesale handbagsas we all know by now, information coming out this early is almost guaranteed to differ radically from whatwholesale mp3wholesale mobile phones actually makes it live.
