The Vol-State seems to have slowed her down at last week's Barkley Fall Classic:

And on the Fifth Day, There will be Bees

    I slept in my car after arriving at 3am, and when it was time to head out for what was waiting, started slow-- very slow. The spool of yarn having unraveled as it had, speed wasn't even on my 'B' list of priorities. I was just trying to survive the first 7 miles so I didn't get swept before getting to the fun stuff that actually had the potential to put me in an ambulance with a legit medical emergency.

How did things work out with the car?

Jeez. Is that what happens when you hit a whole other level of running obsession? Medical emergency is typically where I draw the line with things.

Not great. Entirely my fault, though. Been neglecting repairs on the car in hopes it will last a few more months so I can hit the age of 25 and hit the next credit bracket (independently) before buying a new (used) car. Backfired on me a bit...
