Lets Call It A Jemez 50 Recovery Run

Hello all, reminder we are on for a group trail run in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve Wednesday morning 5:17 AM. Meet at the very top parking lot of Squaw Peak Drive north of Glendale Ave and past the main trailhead of Piestewa Peak. Plan on a little over one hour. We had 19 runners last week. Plenty of trail available for more. Wake-up calls available upon request.

Lots of runner sightings over the weekend. We had three amigos in New Mexico; a team running the canyon; a confirmed Bourque sighting in the preserve; and a two man team crossing paths with THE four person group on trail 100.

The WMRC Runner of the week: Jamil Coury followed up his Zane Grey win with a 3rd overall finish at the Jemez Mountain 50 mile trail race. 9:54:02. Jemez has become a training run for Hardrock 100 participants because of its steep climbs and descent. Also completing Jemez and training for Hardrock was Andrew Heard who finished 15th 11:13:52 and Mark Cosmas who has determined the only way to fix his injured knee is train like hell (“It popped during the run and now it works!!”) finished 40th 12:50:44.

Lastly check out the cool Ultra Running video that Joe G forwarded. It has some of the current stars and notable locations of the Ultra Running World:
