What is 55 by 55  ???
That's my crazy/nutty impossible dream 2015.
When last year ended, I had just completed my 41st marathon/ultra marathon. I thought, what seems totally impossible for 2015?  What about completing my 55th marathon by my birthday on July 20th. That would mean completing fourteen marathons or ultras in  7 1/2 months!!! No way!!!!  That would be impossible!!!!
Hmm.......,and raise $55,000 in 2015 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!
Wait, what about a bunch of the runs being 50 miles, or maybe another 100k!
That's nuts!!!

I have kept this crazy dream private because I wanted to get a head start.
42. The Crystal Springs Marathon......1-11-15  completed
43. The Redding Marathon ( 1-11-15) completed......wet, cold, and painful. 4 hrs 10 minutes.
44  The Montara Mountain Marathon. 2-21-15.....completed ( horrid neuropathy...6 1/2 hrs). 
45. The Napa Valley Marathon. 3-1-2015. completed. (3 hrs 51 minutes). 
46. The Canyon Meadows Ultra. 3-22-2015. completed
47. The American River 50 mile trail run. 4-4-2015 completed. 10 hrs 31 min
48. The Mokelumne River 50 Miler. April 18,2015. Completed 38 miles. 10hr 45 min

Now, what should I do?   Hmm!!
Kick it up a notch and make it even more impossible!!!!

This weekend......( April 18th )
The Mokelumne River 50 miler

Over 10,000 feet of hill climbing
Steep grades
80 degree weather
Extremely difficult terrain

Add......I do not even want to walk right now nor wiggle a toe.
Waldenstom's Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma is Painful!!!!
Rotten!!!
Horrible!!
But, I can't let it stop me.
I feel nasty pain right now as I type this, and I am signed up for pure insanity this weekend. Every run is an act of faith. I give it to God and ask
 him to keep me safe and give me strength. 
Psalm 121:2
My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. (NIV)

Thank-you 
David
