As per Bull Run Run 2008, for the past five years nobody who tried to run a 50 miler with me ever finished it. That curse can now officially be laid to rest: Kate Abbott did the entire BRR in my company last month quite comfortably (modulo horrible blisters, that is). Disaster did almost strike Ken Swab after 40+ miles—perhaps the hoodoo's last gasp?—but as he reported, he survived as well. Guess I'll have to come up with another silly superstition now ...
